Subject: [PATCH 2/2] virtio_mmio: Don't attempt to create empty virtqueues
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:33:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348493622-26091-3-git-send-email-pawel.moll@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348493622-26091-1-git-send-email-pawel.moll@arm.com>

From: Brian Foley <brian.foley@arm.com>

If a virtio device reports a QueueNumMax of 0, vring_new_virtqueue()
doesn't check this, and thanks to an unsigned (i < num - 1) loop
guard, scribbles over memory when initialising the free list.

Avoid by not trying to create zero-descriptor queues, as there's no
way to do any I/O with one.
