Each Oracle DAX CCB has a corresponding completion area, and the required
number of areas must fit within a previously allocated array of completion
areas beginning at the requested index. Since the completion area index
is specified by a file offset, a user can pass arbitrary values, including
negative numbers. So the index must be thoroughly range checked to prevent
access to addresses outside the bounds of the allocated completion
area array. The index cannot be negative, and it cannot exceed the
total array size, less the number of CCBs requested. The old code did
not check for negative values and was off by one on the upper bound.

In case of error, the function class_create() returns ERR_PTR() and
never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should be
replaced with IS_ERR().

DAX is a coprocessor which resides on the SPARC M7 (DAX1) and M8
(DAX2) processor chips, and has direct access to the CPU's L3 caches
as well as physical memory. It can perform several operations on data
streams with various input and output formats. This driver provides a
transport mechanism and has limited knowledge of the various opcodes
and data formats. A user space library provides high level services
and translates these into low level commands which are then passed
into the driver and subsequently the hypervisor and the coprocessor.
The library is the recommended way for applications to use the
coprocessor, and the driver interface is not intended for general use.
