In mergeable buffer case, we use headcount, log_num and seg as indexes in same-size arrays, and we know that headcount <= seg and log_num equals either 0 or seg. Therefore, the right thing to do is range-check seg, not headcount as we do now: these will be different if guest chains s/g descriptors (this does not happen now, but we can not trust the guest). Long term, we should add BUG_ON checks to verify two other indexes are what we think they should be. Reported-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
