Hi all,

given the exposure of such a device but also the fact that I can't tell for sure
if/where it's used (not only by us), I would recommend backporting.

There are multiple patches fixed for 4.19, which can be separated by feature.

- i40e: add num_vectors checker in iwarp handler

This issue has been produced by e3219ce6a7754 ("i40e: Add support for
client interface for IWARP driver").
e3219ce6a7754 is not included in 4.4.y and can be ignored.

- i40e: Wrong truncation from u16 to u8
This can be apply in 4.4.y.

- i40e: Fix of memory leak and integer truncation in i40e_virtchnl.c

This issue has been produced by e284fc280473b ("i40e: Add and delete
cloud filter").
It is not included in 4.4.y. However, this patch has several different fixes, so
some patches need to be applied.

mainline and 4.19+

These are for i40e driver for Intel.

The kernel team would like to know whether their backporting is needed or
not.

For details of those CVE checking results, please see the following.
