The hardware provides the indexes of the first and the last available queue and VF. From the indexes, the driver calculates the numbers of queues and VFs. In theory, a faulty device might say the last index is smaller than the first index. In that case, the driver's calculation would underflow, it would attempt to write to non-existent registers outside of the ioremapped range and crash.
I ran into this not by having a faulty device, but by an operator error. I accidentally ran a QE test meant for i40e devices on an ice device. The test used 'echo i40e > /sys/...ice PCI device.../driver_override', bound the driver to the device and crashed in one of the wr32 calls in i40e_clear_hw. Add checks to prevent underflows in the calculations of num_queues and num_vfs. With this fix, the wrong device probing reports errors and returns a failure without crashing.
