Subject: [PATCH] xen: Add RING_COPY_RESPONSE()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Using RING_GET_RESPONSE() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
shared ring while it is being inspected).  Safe usage of a response
generally requires taking a local copy.

Provide a RING_COPY_RESPONSE() macro to use instead of
RING_GET_RESPONSE() and an open-coded memcpy().  This takes care of
ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
compiler optimizations.

Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
omitting the copy.

This is part of XSA155.
