[PATCH 2/2] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-ntb: Add check to detect 'db_count' value of 0
From: Manivannan Sadhasivam
Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 08:46:02 EST
From: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
epf_ntb::db_count value should be within 1 to MAX_DB_COUNT. Current code
only checks for the upper bound, while the lower bound is unchecked. This
can cause a lot of issues in the driver if the user passes 'db_count' as 0.
So add a check for 0 also. While at it, remove the redundant 'db_count'
assignment.
Fixes: 8b821cf76150 ("PCI: endpoint: Add EP function driver to provide NTB functionality")
