A queue with a capacity of zero is clearly not a valid virtio queue. Some emulators report zero queue size if queried with an invalid queue index. Instead of crashing in this case let us just return -EINVAL. To make that work properly, let us fix the notifier cleanup logic as well. Signed-off-by: Halil Pasic <pasic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is motivated by commit 86a5597 "virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT" (Wei Wang, 2018-08-27) which triggered the described scenario. The emulator in question is the current QEMU. The problem we run into is the underflow in the following loop in __vring_new_virtqueue(): for (i = 0; i < vring.num-1; i++) vq->vring.desc[i].next = cpu_to_virtio16(vdev, i + 1) Namely vring.num is an unsigned int. RFC because I'm not sure about -EINVAL being a good choice, and about us caring about what happens if a virtio driver misbehaves like described. --- drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c index fc9dbad476c0..147927ed4fca 100644 --- a/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c +++ b/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c @@ -272,6 +272,8 @@ static void virtio_ccw_drop_indicators(struct virtio_ccw_device *vcdev) { struct virtio_ccw_vq_info *info; + if (!vcdev->airq_info) + return; list_for_each_entry(info, &vcdev->virtqueues, node) drop_airq_indicator(info->vq, vcdev->airq_info); } @@ -514,6 +516,10 @@ static struct virtqueue *virtio_ccw_setup_vq(struct virtio_device *vdev, err = info->num; goto out_err; } + if (info->num == 0) { + err = -EINVAL; + goto out_err; + } size = PAGE_ALIGN(vring_size(info->num, KVM_VIRTIO_CCW_RING_ALIGN)); info->queue = alloc_pages_exact(size, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO); if (info->queue == NULL) { -- 2.16.4
