((unsigned long) ZERO_SIZE_PTR) + -1U * 0 + (-1U << 1).

I don't think that a console with 0 column and/or 0 row makes sense, and
I think that we can reject such bogus arguments in fb_set_var() from
ioctl(FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO). Regardless, I think that it is safer to also
check vc->vc_screenbuf_size when allocating vc->vc_screenbuf from
vc_allocate() from con_install() from tty_init_dev() from tty_open().

Theoretically, cols and rows can be any range as long as
0 < cols * rows * 2 <= KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is satisfied (e.g.
cols == 1048576 && rows == 2 is possible) because of

vc->vc_size_row = vc->vc_cols << 1;
vc->vc_screenbuf_size = vc->vc_rows * vc->vc_size_row;

in visual_init() and kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size) in vc_allocate().

But since vc_do_resize() requires cols <= 32767 and rows <= 32767,
applying 1 <= cols <= 32767 and 1 <= rows <= 32767 requirements to
vc_allocate() will be practically fine. (cols != 0 && rows != 0 is
implicitly checked via screenbuf_size != 0.)

This patch does not touch con_init(), for returning -EINVAL there
does not help when we are not returning -ENOMEM.

Hi,

Looks like this patch also fixes this bug reported by syzbot:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=dc5c6b1ae4952a5d72d0e82de0eeeb9e5f767efc

There's a lot of other bugs that were reported by syzbot that also touch this code, so I just wanted to give a heads up in case you weren't already aware of them. It seems like this patch could be a fix for all of them.

Here are the links to those other bugs:
