Subject: [PATCH] virtiofs: add FUSE protocol validation
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 07:31:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216073158.75151-1-ytohnuki@amazon.com> (raw)
Add virtio_fs_verify_response() to validate that the server properly
follows the FUSE protocol by checking:
- Response length is at least sizeof(struct fuse_out_header).
- oh.len matches the actual response length.
- oh.unique matches the request's unique identifier.
On validation failure, set error to -EIO and normalize oh.len to prevent
underflow in copy_args_from_argbuf().
Addresses the TODO comment in virtio_fs_request_complete().
