4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "G. Campana" <gcampana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8379cadf71c3ee8173a1c6fc1ea7762a9638c047 ] Using control_work instead of config_work as the 3rd argument to container_of results in an invalid portdev pointer. Indeed, the work structure is initialized as below: INIT_WORK(&portdev->config_work, &config_work_handler); It leads to a crash when portdev->vdev is dereferenced later. This bug is triggered when the guest uses a virtio-console without multiport feature and receives a config_changed virtio interrupt. Signed-off-by: G.
