[ofa-general] [PATCH] RDMA/nes: Fix possible array overrun

In nes_create_qp(), the test

	if (nesqp->mmap_sq_db_index > NES_MAX_USER_WQ_REGIONS) {

is used to error out if the db_index is too large; however, if the
test doesn't trigger, then the index is used as

	nes_ucontext->mmap_nesqp[nesqp->mmap_sq_db_index] = nesqp;

and mmap_nesqp is declared as

	struct nes_qp      *mmap_nesqp[NES_MAX_USER_WQ_REGIONS];

which leads to an array overrun if the index is exactly equal to
NES_MAX_USER_WQ_REGIONS.  Fix this by bailing out if the index is
greater than or equal to NES_MAX_USER_WQ_REGIONS.

This was spotted by the Coverity checker (CID 2162).

Roland,

Here's my ack.  Thanks for catching this.  Will look into Coverity.
