From: Andres Beltran (Microsoft) <lkmlabelt@xxxxxxxxx> Currently, VMbus drivers use pointers into guest memory as request IDs for interactions with Hyper-V. To be more robust in the face of errors or malicious behavior from a compromised Hyper-V, avoid exposing guest memory addresses to Hyper-V. Also avoid Hyper-V giving back a bad request ID that is then treated as the address of a guest data structure with no validation. Instead, encapsulate these memory addresses and provide small integers as request IDs. The first patch creates the definitions for the data structure, provides helper methods to generate new IDs and retrieve data, and allocates/frees the memory needed for vmbus_requestor. The second and third patches make use of vmbus_requestor to send request IDs to Hyper-V in storvsc and netvsc respectively. Thanks.
