[PATCH v2] rpmsg: virtio: don't let virtio core to validate used length

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using OpenAMP library on remote side, when the rpmsg framework tries to
reuse the buffer the following error message is displayed in
the virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split function:
"virtio_rpmsg_bus virtio0: output:used len 28 is larger than in buflen 0"

As described in virtio specification:
"many drivers ignored the len value, as a result, many devices set len
incorrectly. Thus, when using the legacy interface, it is generally
a good idea to ignore the len value in used ring entries if possible."

To stay in compliance with the legacy libraries, this patch prevents the
virtio core from validating used length.

Fixes: 939779f5152d ("virtio_ring: validate used buffer length")
