Subject: [PATCH 4.14 096/115] bnxt_en: Fix the Invalid VF id check in bnxt_vf_ndo_prep routine.

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Venkat Duvvuru <venkatkumar.duvvuru@...adcom.com>


[ Upstream commit 78f300049335ae81a5cc6b4b232481dc5e1f9d41 ]

In bnxt_vf_ndo_prep (which is called by bnxt_get_vf_config ndo), there is a
check for "Invalid VF id". Currently, the check is done against max_vfs.
However, the user doesn't always create max_vfs. So, the check should be
against the created number of VFs. The number of bnxt_vf_info structures
that are allocated in bnxt_alloc_vf_resources routine is the "number of
requested VFs". So, if an "invalid VF id" falls between the requested
number of VFs and the max_vfs, the driver will be dereferencing an invalid
pointer.
