Two fixes for values that kvaser_usb takes from the USB device without
checking them.
Patch 1 rejects hydra commands whose length is shorter than a standard
command. A length of zero otherwise stalls the command loops, and a
short extended command makes the handlers read past the command.
Patch 2 rejects devices that report zero max outstanding tx, which
otherwise leads to a division by zero.
These issues were found with the help of an LLM-based code review tool
(Claude). I checked the code paths by hand against v7.4-rc3 and
reviewed the fixes myself. They are build-tested only (W=1, arm64); I
do not have the hardware to test them at runtime.
---
Changes in v2:
- Patch 1: require at least sizeof(struct kvaser_cmd) instead of the
4-byte header, so that the extended command handlers do not read past
a short command (sashiko review of v1). Subject changed, it was
"can: kvaser_usb: hydra: reject commands shorter than the header".
- Patch 2: unchanged.

kvaser_usb_hydra_cmd_size() returns the length field supplied by the
device for extended commands. Both command parsers advance through the
received buffer by that length:
kvaser_usb_hydra_wait_cmd() pos += cmd_len;
kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() pos += cmd_len;
Neither checks that the length is non-zero. A device that sends an
extended command (cmd_no == CMD_EXTENDED) with a length of zero keeps
pos unchanged, so the loop never terminates. In
kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() this happens in the URB completion
handler, which also calls kvaser_usb_hydra_handle_cmd() on the same
command in every iteration, and locks up the CPU. In
kvaser_usb_hydra_wait_cmd() the loop spins in process context without
ever reaching the timeout check.
A non-zero length that is too small is not valid either. The parsers
only check that cmd_len bytes are available, but the handlers of the
extended commands read the fixed part of the command without looking at
the length again: cmd_no_ext, the flags and timestamp of
struct kvaser_cmd_ext_tx_ack and the fields of
struct kvaser_cmd_ext_rx_can in front of the payload. That fixed part
ends at byte 32 in both cases, so a shorter extended command makes the
handlers read bytes that are not part of the command.
Standard commands are sizeof(struct kvaser_cmd), 32 bytes, and the
extended commands that the driver handles or sends are never shorter
than that. Treat a shorter length as a format error in both parsers.
A similar infinite loop in the leaf command parsers was fixed in
commit 0c73772cd2b8 ("can: kvaser_usb: leaf: Fix potential infinite loop
in command parsers").
Found by LLM-assisted source review.

The number of tx contexts is taken from the max_outstanding_tx field of
the software info reply sent by the device. The leaf driver uses the
value as is and the hydra driver only limits it to
KVASER_USB_MAX_TX_URBS, so a device can report zero.
dev->max_tx_urbs is then used as a divisor when a tx acknowledge is
received:
kvaser_usb_leaf_tx_acknowledge()
context = &priv->tx_contexts[tid % dev->max_tx_urbs];
kvaser_usb_hydra_tx_acknowledge()
context = &priv->tx_contexts[transid % dev->max_tx_urbs];
With max_tx_urbs == 0 a tx acknowledge sent by the device while the
interface is up is a division by zero in the URB completion handler on
architectures that trap on it. On architectures that do not
trap, the index is not reduced at all and tx_contexts[], which was
allocated with zero elements, is accessed out of bounds.
A device that cannot accept any outstanding tx frame is not usable, so
fail the probe when it reports zero.
