Subject: [PATCH 1/7] xen: Add RING_COPY_REQUEST()
|
|
|
|
Using RING_GET_REQUEST() 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 request
|
|
generally requires taking a local copy.
|
|
|
|
Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
|
|
RING_GET_REQUEST() 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.
