I've complained about integer overflows in fbdev for a long time...

What I'd like to see is something like the following maybe.  I don't
know how to get the vc_data in fbmem.c so it doesn't include your checks
for negative.
Yes. Like I said "Thus, I consider that we need more sanity/constraints checks." at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/b1e7dd6a-fc22-bba8-0abb-d3e779329bce@i-love.sakura.ne.jp/ (local) ,
we want basic checks. That's a task for fbdev people who should be familiar with
necessary constraints.

Anyway, my two patches are small and low cost; can we apply these patches regardless
of basic checks?
