Subject: net/mlx4_core: Limit count field to 24 bits in qp_alloc_res
From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2d5c57d7fbfaa642fb7f0673df24f32b83d9066c ]
Some VF drivers use the upper byte of "param1" (the qp count field)
in mlx4_qp_reserve_range() to pass flags which are used to optimize
the range allocation.
Under the current code, if any of these flags are set, the 32-bit
count field yields a count greater than 2^24, which is out of range,
and this VF fails.
As these flags represent a "best-effort" allocation hint anyway, they may
safely be ignored. Therefore, the PF driver may simply mask out the bits.
