The xenstore 'ring-page-order' is used globally for each blkback queue and therefore should be read from xenstore only once. However, it is obtained in read_per_ring_refs() which might be called multiple times during the initialization of each blkback queue. If the blkfront is malicious and the 'ring-page-order' is set in different value by blkfront every time before blkback reads it, this may end up at the "WARN_ON(i != (XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE * blkif->nr_ring_pages));" in xen_blkif_disconnect() when frontend is destroyed. This patch reworks connect_ring() to read xenstore 'ring-page-order' only once. Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
