[PATCH 3/4] virtio: handle > 2 billion page balloon targets

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

 



If the host asks for a huge target towards_target() can overflow, and
we up oops as we try to release more pages than we have.  The simple
fix is to use a 64-bit value.
