[PATCH net, 1/2] hv_netvsc: Fix offset usage in netvsc_send_table()

[Haiyang Zhang]

To reach the data region, the existing code adds offset in struct
nvsp_5_send_indirect_table on the beginning of this struct. But the
offset should be based on the beginning of its container,
struct nvsp_message. This bug causes the first table entry missing,
and adds an extra zero from the zero pad after the data region.
This can put extra burden on the channel 0.

So, correct the offset usage. Also add a boundary check to ensure
not reading beyond data region.

Fixes: 5b54dac856cb ("hyperv: Add support for virtual Receive Side Scaling (vRSS)")

Nit: I think this can overflow.

But tab is 'u32 *', doesn't compiler complain?

nvmsg + offset is still of type void *.
assigning void * to another pointer type is allowed with C.

To prevent overflow, I will change it to:
	if (offset > msglen || offset + count * sizeof(u32) > msglen) {

Actually, this would be simpler since we already trust msglen and count
to have good values:

	if (offset > msglen - count * sizeof(u32)) {

Great idea. Thanks!

[PATCH net, 2/2] hv_netvsc: Fix send_table offset in case of a host bug

[Haiyang Zhang]

If negotiated NVSP version <= NVSP_PROTOCOL_VERSION_6, the offset may
be wrong (too small) due to a host bug. This can cause missing the
end of the send indirection table, and add multiple zero entries from
leading zeros before the data region. This bug adds extra burden on
channel 0.

So fix the offset by computing it from the end of the table. This
will ensure netvsc driver runs normally on unfixed hosts, and future
fixed hosts.

Fixes: 5b54dac856cb ("hyperv: Add support for virtual Receive Side Scaling (vRSS)")
