[PATCH 0/3] vhost: fix use_mm usage

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

This patchset fixes an issue, pointed out by Al Viro, in how vhost net
calls use_mm, Works fine for me, and it's pretty straightforward.  If no
one sees any issues with it, this will be a good candidate for 2.6.33
(assuming vhost net itself gets pulled :( ).


Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
  vhost: prevent modification of an active ring
  vhost: add access_ok checks
  vhost: make default mapping empty by default

No, Linus didn't respond to either pull request.  Either he considers it a
new driver and hence not in a hurry to enter merge window, or there's some
other issue.

I've taken these fixes too, meanwhile.

Thanks,
Rusty.
