[PATCH 4.9 039/165] x86/sysfb: Fix check for bad VRAM size

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2020-02-27 13:46:46
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Arvind Sankar <redacted>

[ Upstream commit dacc9092336be20b01642afe1a51720b31f60369 ]

When checking whether the reported lfb_size makes sense, the height
* stride result is page-aligned before seeing whether it exceeds the
reported size.

This doesn't work if height * stride is not an exact number of pages.
For example, as reported in the kernel bugzilla below, an 800x600x32 EFI
framebuffer gets skipped because of this.

Move the PAGE_ALIGN to after the check vs size.
