[PATCH v1] gve: fix zero size queue page list allocation

From: Haiyue Wang
Date: Sun Feb 13 2022 - 22:15:54 EST


According to the two functions 'gve_num_tx/rx_qpls', only the queue with
GVE_GQI_QPL_FORMAT format has queue page list.

The 'queue_format == GVE_GQI_RDA_FORMAT' may lead to request zero sized
memory allocation, like if the queue format is GVE_DQO_RDA_FORMAT.

The kernel memory subsystem will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is not NULL
address, so the driver can run successfully. Also the code still checks
the queue page list number firstly, then accesses the allocated memory,
so zero number queue page list allocation will not lead to access fault.

Use the queue page list number to detect no QPLs, it can avoid zero size
queue page list memory allocation.

Fixes: a5886ef4f4bf ("gve: Introduce per netdev `enum gve_queue_format`")
