Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kvm: x86: fix KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 15:45:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171026134547.23664-3-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171026134547.23664-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
This ioctl is obsolete (it was used by Xenner as far as I know) but
still let's not break it gratuitously... Its handler is copying
directly into struct kvm. Go through a bounce buffer instead, with
the added benefit that we can actually do something useful with the
flags argument---the previous code was exiting with -EINVAL but still
doing the copy.
This technically is a userspace ABI breakage, but since no one should be
using the ioctl, it's a good occasion to see if someone actually
complains.
