If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bbad2c7d1181194ab0c2a907e99cf0b5592687e5 Author: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 20 19:23:23 2021 +0800 virtio_ring: check desc == NULL when using indirect with packed [ Upstream commit fc6d70f40b3d0b3219e2026d05be0409695f620d ] When using indirect with packed, we don't check for allocation failures. This patch checks that and fall back on direct.
