There is a comment here which says that DIV_ROUND_UP() and that's where the problem comes from. Say you pick: args->bpp = UINT_MAX - 7; args->width = 4; args->height = 1; The integer overflow in DIV_ROUND_UP() means "cpp" is UINT_MAX / 8 and because of how we picked args->width that means cpp < UINT_MAX / 4.
