[PATCH v2] ACPI: APEI: Fix num_ghes to unsigned int

From: Ashish Kalra
Date: Wed Oct 05 2022 - 12:33:17 EST


From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>

Change num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow
and causing subsequent vmalloc to fail.

The overflow happens in the ghes_estatus_pool_init() when calculating
len during execution of the statement below as both multiplication
operands here are signed int :

len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);

The following call trace is observed because of this bug:
