3.16.74-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: yongduan <yongduan@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 060423bfdee3f8bc6e2c1bac97de24d5415e2bc4 upstream. The code assumes log_num < in_num everywhere, and that is true as long as in_num is incremented by descriptor iov count, and log_num by 1. However this breaks if there's a zero sized descriptor. As a result, if a malicious guest creates a vring desc with desc.len = 0, it may cause the host kernel to crash by overflowing the log array. This bug can be triggered during the VM migration. There's no need to log when desc.len = 0, so just don't increment log_num in this case.
