-Subject: [PATCH] virtio: error out if guest exceeds virtqueue size
-
-A broken or malicious guest can submit more requests than the virtqueue
-size permits.
-
-The guest can submit requests without bothering to wait for completion
-and is therefore not bound by virtqueue size. This requires reusing
-vring descriptors in more than one request, which is incorrect but
-possible. Processing a request allocates a VirtQueueElement and
-therefore causes unbounded memory allocation controlled by the guest.
-
-Exit with an error if the guest provides more requests than the
-virtqueue size permits. This bounds memory allocation and makes the
-buggy guest visible to the user.
