The hardware provides the indexes of the first and the last available
queue and VF. From the indexes, the driver calculates the numbers of
queues and VFs. In theory, a faulty device might say the last index is
smaller than the first index. In that case, the driver's calculation
would underflow, it would attempt to write to non-existent registers
outside of the ioremapped range and crash.
I ran into this not by having a faulty device, but by an operator error.
I accidentally ran a QE test meant for i40e devices on an ice device.
The test used 'echo i40e > /sys/...ice PCI device.../driver_override',
bound the driver to the device and crashed in one of the wr32 calls in
i40e_clear_hw.
Add checks to prevent underflows in the calculations of num_queues and
num_vfs. With this fix, the wrong device probing reports errors and
returns a failure without crashing.

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.
