[PATCH v2] scsi: core: Fix shost->cmd_per_lun calculation in scsi_add_host_with_dma()

From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Thu Oct 07 2021 - 13:50:49 EST


After commit ea2f0f77538c, a 416-CPU VM running on Hyper-V hangs during
boot because scsi_add_host_with_dma() sets shost->cmd_per_lun to a
negative number (the below numbers may differ in different kernel versions):
in drivers/scsi/storvsc_drv.c, storvsc_drv_init() sets
'max_outstanding_req_per_channel' to 352, and storvsc_probe() sets
'max_sub_channels' to (416 - 1) / 4 = 103 and sets scsi_driver.can_queue to
352 * (103 + 1) * (100 - 10) / 100 = 32947, which exceeds SHRT_MAX.

Use min_t(int, ...) to fix the issue.

v1 tried to fix the issue by changing the storvsc driver:
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/BYAPR21MB1270BBC14D5F1AE69FC31A16BFB09@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

v2 directly fixes the scsi core change instead as Michael Kelley and
John Garry suggested (refer to the above link).
