[PATCH v5 2/3] fpga: dfl-afu: validate DMA mapping length in afu_dma_map_region()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
afu_ioctl_dma_map() accepts a 64-bit length from userspace via
DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_MAP ioctl without an upper bound check. The value
is passed to afu_dma_pin_pages() where npages is derived as
length >> PAGE_SHIFT and passed to pin_user_pages_fast() which takes
int nr_pages, causing implicit truncation if length is very large.

Validate map.length at the ioctl entry point before calling
afu_dma_map_region(), rejecting values whose page count exceeds
INT_MAX.

Changes in v5:
  - Resubmit as full series with v5 corrections to patches 1/3 and 3/3.
    No changes to this patch.
Changes in v4:
  - Resubmit as full series per maintainer request.
Changes in v3:
  - Move validation to afu_ioctl_dma_map() at the ioctl entry point,
    before crossing the userspace/kernel boundary, instead of deep in
    afu_dma_pin_pages(). Suggested by Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Changes in v2:
  - Added cap at INT_MAX in afu_dma_pin_pages() (superseded by v3).
