[ 013/123] virtio: 9p: correctly pass physical address to userspace for high pages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 09 2013 - 16:50:41 EST


3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit b9cdc88df8e63e81c723b82c286fc97f5d0dc325 upstream.

When using a virtio transport, the 9p net device may pass the physical
address of a kernel buffer to userspace via a scatterlist inside a
virtqueue. If the kernel buffer is mapped outside of the linear mapping
(e.g. highmem), then virt_to_page will return a bogus value and we will
populate the scatterlist with junk.

This patch uses kmap_to_page when populating the page array for a kernel
buffer.
