[PATCH net 0/4] Fix various issue of vhost

From: Jason Wang
Date: Mon Dec 10 2018 - 04:45:05 EST


Hi:

This series tries to fix various issues of vhost:

- Patch 1 adds a missing write barrier between used idx updating and
logging.
- Patch 2-3 brings back the protection of device IOTLB through vq
mutex, this fixes possible use after free in device IOTLB entries.
- Patch 4 fixes the diry page logging when device IOTLB is
enabled. We should done through GPA instead of GIOVA, this was done
through logging through iovec and traversing GPA->HPA list for the
GPA.

Please consider them for -stable.

Thanks

Jason Wang (4):
vhost: make sure used idx is seen before log in vhost_add_used_n()
vhost_net: rework on the lock ordering for busy polling
Revert "net: vhost: lock the vqs one by one"
vhost: log dirty page correctly
