[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 077/108] xen-blkback: read from indirect descriptors only once

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Jan 22 2016 - 18:36:39 EST


3.13.11-ckt33 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Roger=20Pau=20Monn=C3=A9?= <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 18779149101c0dd43ded43669ae2a92d21b6f9cb upstream.

Since indirect descriptors are in memory shared with the frontend, the
frontend could alter the first_sect and last_sect values after they have
been validated but before they are recorded in the request. This may
result in I/O requests that overflow the foreign page, possibly
overwriting local pages when the I/O request is executed.

When parsing indirect descriptors, only read first_sect and last_sect
once.

This is part of XSA155.

[ luis: backported to 3.16:
- Use ACCESS_ONCE instead of READ_ONCE
- Use PAGE_SIZE instead of XEN_PAGE_SIZE ]
