In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme-pci: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_dbbuf_set

dev->online_queues is a count incremented in nvme_init_queue. Thus, valid indices are 0 through dev->online_queues − 1.

This patch fixes the loop condition to ensure the index stays within the valid range. Index 0 is excluded because it is the admin queue.
