[ Upstream commit 937c783aa3d8d77963ec91918d3298edb45b9161 ] Add a limit to 'config->vq_num' which is user controlled data which comes from an vduse_ioctl to prevent large memory allocations. Micheal says - This limit is somewhat arbitrary. However, currently virtio pci and ccw are limited to a 16 bit vq number. While MMIO isn't it is also isn't used with lots of VQs due to current lack of support for per-vq interrupts. Thus, the 0xffff limit on number of VQs corresponding to a 16-bit VQ number seems sufficient for now. This is found using static analysis with smatch. Suggested-by: Michael S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
