We found that callers of dma_get_seg_boundary mostly do an ALIGN
with page mask and then do a page shift to get number of pages:
ALIGN(boundary + 1, 1 << shift) >> shift
However, the boundary might be as large as ULONG_MAX, which means
that a device has no specific boundary limit. So either "+ 1" or
passing it to ALIGN() would potentially overflow.
According to kernel defines:
#define ALIGN_MASK(x, mask) (((x) + (mask)) & ~(mask))
#define ALIGN(x, a) ALIGN_MASK(x, (typeof(x))(a) - 1)
We can simplify the logic here into a helper function doing:
ALIGN(boundary + 1, 1 << shift) >> shift
= ALIGN_MASK(b + 1, (1 << s) - 1) >> s
= {[b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] & ~[(1 << s) - 1]} >> s
= [b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] >> s
= [b + (1 << s)] >> s
= (b >> s) + 1
This patch introduces and applies dma_get_seg_boundary_nr_pages()
as an overflow-free helper for the dma_get_seg_boundary() callers
to get numbers of pages. It also takes care of the NULL dev case
for non-DMA API callers.

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.
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.
