Nouveau - Oct 2025 - [PATCH] drm/nouveau: handle division by zero and overflow in nouveau_bo_fixup_align()

The expression 64 * nvbo->mode can evaluate to 0 when 
nvbo->mode = U32_MAX/64, which results in division by zero 
in the do_div() function. A value greater than U32_MAX/64 
causes a u32 overflow, and the division result may be 
incorrect. The nvbo->mode value depends on the data 
passed from the user via ioctl. Generally, the kernel 
should distrust userspace data (an attacker could operate 
from there, and there's no guarantee that mesa and similar 
software are bug-free) and validate it to avoid crashing.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with svace.

Fixes: a0af9add499c ("drm/nouveau: Make the MM aware of pre-G80
tiling.")

Hi! Sorry for the delay. Response down below:

Are we sure that nouveau_bo_fixup_align() is the right place to validate this?
All this really does is avoid the actual calculation, I think I'd rather us
make sure that we don't take in a value like this at all.

Could you add a check into nouveau_bo_alloc() to check the value of tile_mode
there before we assign it to nvbo->mode, and then reject it in the same way
we
already do for invalid sizes?
