Ah...  Here's one of the integer overflow bugs I was talking about.  The
__vb2_queue_alloc() function returns an int so if num_buffers goes over
INT_MAX we are hosed.
I will limit it to:
#define VB2_QUEUE_MAX_BUFFERS  (INT_MAX & PAGE_MASK)  /* The mask prevents 85% of integer overflows */
as you have suggest it.
IMHO INT_MAX is way overkill. How about (1U << 20)? I would like some sort of
sanity check here. 1048576 buffers of 640x480 and 4 bytes per pixel is 1.2 TB.

Since a TB of memory is doable these days, I think this is a reasonable
value for MAX_BUFFERS without allowing just anything.

An alternative is to make this a kernel config.

That will be in version 4.

Thanks,
Benjamin
