[RFC PATCH 1/1] s390/virtio: handle find on invalid queue gracefully

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

 



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.

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.
