dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct:
dmi_num = dmi_len / 4;
would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than 256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0 makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future.
So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.
This bug was introduced with the initial SMBIOS 3.0 support in commit fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point").
