[ Upstream commit297e77e53e] The parameter passed via DCB_ATTR_DCB_BUFFER is a struct dcbnl_buffer. The field prio2buffer is an array of IEEE_8021Q_MAX_PRIORITIES bytes, where each value is a number of a buffer to direct that priority's traffic to. That value is however never validated to lie within the bounds set by DCBX_MAX_BUFFERS. The only driver that currently implements the callback is mlx5 (maintainers CCd), and that does not do any validation either, in particual allowing incorrect configuration if the prio2buffer value does not fit into 4 bits. Instead of offloading the need to validate the buffer index to drivers, do it right there in core, and bounce the request if the value is too large.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
