CVE-2023-53778

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel/qaic: Clean up integer overflow checking in map_user_pages()

The encode_dma() function has some validation on in_trans->size but it
would be more clear to move those checks to find_and_map_user_pages().

The encode_dma() had two checks:

	if (in_trans->addr + in_trans->size < in_trans->addr || !in_trans->size)
		return -EINVAL;

The in_trans->addr variable is the starting address.  The in_trans->size
variable is the total size of the transfer.  The transfer can occur in
parts and the resources->xferred_dma_size tracks how many bytes we have
already transferred.

This patch introduces a new variable "remaining" which represents the
amount we want to transfer (in_trans->size) minus the amount we have
already transferred (resources->xferred_dma_size).

I have modified the check for if in_trans->size is zero to instead check
if in_trans->size is less than resources->xferred_dma_size.  If we have
already transferred more bytes than in_trans->size then there are negative
bytes remaining which doesn't make sense.  If there are zero bytes
remaining to be copied, just return success.

The check in encode_dma() checked that "addr + size" could not overflow
and barring a driver bug that should work, but it's easier to check if
we do this in parts.  First check that "in_trans->addr +
resources->xferred_dma_size" is safe.  Then check that "xfer_start_addr +
remaining" is safe.

My final concern was that we are dealing with u64 values but on 32bit
systems the kmalloc() function will truncate the sizes to 32 bits.  So
I calculated "total = in_trans->size + offset_in_page(xfer_start_addr);"
and returned -EINVAL if it were >= SIZE_MAX.  This will not affect 64bit
systems.
