From: Minwoo Im minwoo.im.dev@gmail.com

[ Upstream commit 244a8fe40a09c218622eb9927b9090b0a9b73a1a ]

hmb descriptor idx out-of-bound occurs in case of below conditions. preferred = 128MiB chunk_size = 4MiB hmmaxd = 1

Current code will not allow rmmod which will free hmb descriptors to be done successfully in above case.

"descs[i]" will be set in for-loop without seeing any conditions related to "max_entries" after a single "descs" was allocated by (max_entries = 1) in this case.

Added a condition into for-loop to check index of descriptors.
