[PATCH 4.14 07/29] vhost: reset metadata cache when initializing new IOTLB

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 21 2018 - 02:32:18 EST


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

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

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b13f9c6364373a1b9f71e9846dc4fb199296f926 ]

We need to reset metadata cache during new IOTLB initialization,
otherwise the stale pointers to previous IOTLB may be still accessed
which will lead a use after free.
