  • Thread-topic: [PATCH v6] dom0less: Prevent division by zero in handle_passthrough_prop()

A malformed partial DTB specifying both '#address-cells = <0>' and
'#size-cells = <0>' causes '(address_cells * 2 + size_cells)' to
evaluate to 0. This sum is subsequently used as a divisor when
calculating the number of regions in the 'xen,reg' property inside
handle_passthrough_prop():

    len = fdt32_to_cpu(xen_reg->len) / ((address_cells * 2 + size_cells) *
                                        sizeof(uint32_t));

This leads to a division by zero exception in the Xen hypervisor during
boot, causing a hypervisor panic/crash.

Fix this by validating that both 'address_cells' and 'size_cells'
are within the range of [1, 2] at the top of handle_passthrough_prop().
Any invalid cell size combination is safely rejected early with an error
message and return -EINVAL.

Furthermore, update handle_passthrough_prop() to use the sizeof(*cell)
instead of sizeof(uint32_t).

Fixes: 9ce974c47588 ("xen/arm: assign devices to boot domains")

Changes in v6:
- move cells check at the top of handle_passthrough_prop() with a comment
- reword commit message
- replace sizeof(uint32_t) with sizeof(*cell) (use expression instead of type)
