[PATCH 1/2] 9p/xen: check logical size for buffer size

From: Dominique Martinet
Date: Fri Nov 18 2022 - 08:56:11 EST


trans_xen did not check the data fits into the buffer before copying
from the xen ring, but we probably should.
Add a check that just skips the request and return an error to
userspace if it did not fit

This comes more or less as a follow up of a fix for trans_fd:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221117091159.31533-1-guozihua@xxxxxxxxxx
Where msize should be replaced by capacity check, except trans_xen
did not actually use to check the size fits at all.

While we normally trust the hypervisor (they can probably do whatever
they want with our memory), a bug in the 9p server is always possible so
sanity checks never hurt, especially now buffers got drastically smaller
with a recent patch.

My setup for xen is unfortunately long dead so I cannot test this:
Stefano, you've tested v9fs xen patches in the past, would you mind
verifying this works as well?
