    virtio_ring: validate used buffer length · 939779f5
    Jason Wang authored
    This patch validate the used buffer length provided by the device
    before trying to use it. This is done by record the in buffer length
    in a new field in desc_state structure during virtqueue_add(), then we
    can fail the virtqueue_get_buf() when we find the device is trying to
    give us a used buffer length which is greater than the in buffer
    length.
    
    Since some drivers have already done the validation by themselves,
    this patch tries to makes the core validation optional. For the driver
    that doesn't want the validation, it can set the
    suppress_used_validation to be true (which could be overridden by
    force_used_validation module parameter). To be more efficient, a
    dedicate array is used for storing the validate used length, this
    helps to eliminate the cache stress if validation is done by the
    driver.
