The issue is in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_std_types_cq.c in the
UVERBS_HANDLER(UVERBS_METHOD_CQ_CREATE) function.  We check that:

	if (attr.comp_vector >= attrs->ufile->device->num_comp_vectors) {

But we don't check that "attr.comp_vector" whether negative.  It
could potentially lead to an array underflow.  My concern would be where
cq->vector is used in the create_cq() function from the cxgb4 driver.

Fixes: 9ee79fce3642 ("IB/core: Add completion queue (cq) object actions")

I would have expected you to change struct ib_cq_init_attr ? Or at
least both..

This is actually a bug as the type of
UVERBS_ATTR_CREATE_CQ_COMP_VECTOR for userspace is u32:

        UVERBS_ATTR_PTR_IN(UVERBS_ATTR_CREATE_CQ_COMP_VECTOR,
                           UVERBS_ATTR_TYPE(u32),
                           UA_MANDATORY),

But we are stuffing it into a int:

        ret = uverbs_copy_from(&attr.comp_vector, attrs,
                               UVERBS_ATTR_CREATE_CQ_COMP_VECTOR);

So very large values will become negative and switching
num_comp_vectors to u32 won't help??

Yeah.  You're right.  I should have changed both.  I'm not sure what I
was thinking.

My patch does fix the bug because of type promotion, but we should
change both to u32.
