[ Upstream commit78f3000493] 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. Fixes:c0c050c58d("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
