Subject: [PATCH] virtio: validate split queue head count before popping
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 18:05:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709100529.41267-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)
virtqueue_split_pop() reads the next split avail ring entry after
virtio_queue_empty_rcu() reports work. Call virtqueue_num_heads() before
consuming that entry, so an avail index distance larger than the queue
size is rejected.
virtqueue_num_heads() also keeps the read barrier needed before the avail
ring entry is read.
This prevents an invalid split queue state from being expanded into
repeated device command processing.

Tested with qemu-system-x86_64 11.0.50, built from origin/master
f893c46c3931 plus this patch, configured with:
--target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-kvm --disable-tcg
The original virtio-iommu live-vring qtest reproducer used for the
report completed successfully on the patched build without host OOM,
confirming that this reproducer is fixed by the patch.
