Vectors should be unsigned int, this is just one step in that direction as we are at it. Even if the overflow is practically impossible, this remains cleaner. > >> int was_masked = msix_is_masked(dev, vector); >> pci_set_long(dev->msix_table_page + offset, val); >> if (kvm_enabled() && kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()) { >> kvm_msix_update(dev, vector, was_masked, msix_is_masked(dev, vector)); >> } > > I would say if we need to check the address, check it first thing > and return if the address is out of a sensible range.
