Note that yres_virtual is set to 0x10000000. Is there no practical limit
(hence limit check) that can be used here?

Also, in vga16fb_check_var(), beginning at line 404:

  404        if (yres > vyres)
  405            vyres = yres;
  406        if (vxres * vyres > maxmem) {
  407            vyres = maxmem / vxres;
  408            if (vyres < yres)
  409                return -ENOMEM;
  410        }

At line 406, the product of vxres * vyres overflows 32 bits (is 0 in this
case/example), so any protection from this block is lost.
OK. Then, we can check overflow like below.

Mindlessly changing the sizes is not the solution.
Please use e.g. the array_size() helper from <linux/overflow.h>
instead.

But I think we can check overflow in the common code like below. (Both patch fixed the oops.)

Same comment here, of course.
