good catch, thanks; I'll propagate this to our various OOB drivers.

Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: qla2xxx: Fix an integer overflow in sysfs code

The value of "size" comes from the user.  When we add "start + size"
it could lead to an integer overflow bug.

It means we vmalloc() a lot more memory than we had intended.  I believe that 
on 64 bit systems vmalloc() can succeed even if we ask it to allocate huge 4GB 
buffers.  So we would get memory corruption and likely a crash when we call 
ha->isp_ops->write_optrom() and ->read_optrom().

Only root can trigger this bug.
