[PATCH 1/3] cxl/features: Reject feature offset that overflows 16-bit field

From: Richard Cheng

Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 03:48:22 EST


cxl_get_feature() and cxl_set_feature() build the mailbox command's
offset as cpu_to_le16(offset + data_rcvd_size/data_sent_size), but never
check the sum fits in the 16-bit field. Via fwctl, a user-supplied
offset plus count/op_size summing over 65535 silently wraps, steering
the device to the wrong feature offset.

Fixes: 5e5ac21f629d ("cxl/mbox: Add GET_FEATURE mailbox command")
Fixes: 14d502cc2718 ("cxl/mbox: Add SET_FEATURE mailbox command")
