[PATCH mellanox-tree] net/mlx5: prevent an integer underflow in mlx5_perout_configure()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-19 09:59:08

The value of "sec" comes from the user.  Negative values will lead to
shift wrapping inside the perout_conf_real_time() function and triggger
a UBSan warning.

Add a check and return -EINVAL to prevent that from happening.

Saeed, I think this goes through your git tree and you will send a pull
request to the networking?

From static analysis.  Not tested.

I'm not a networking expert...  :/  It's easier for me to see that this
code will trigger a syzbot splat vs saying that there is no valid use
case for negative seconds any driver.

What you're saying sounds reasonable enough to me, but I don't know
enough about networking to comment one way or the other.  Maybe the
other drivers have a use for negative seconds?
