[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: fix segfault on bad descriptor address.

[Ilya Maximets]

In current implementation guest application can reinitialize vrings
by executing start after stop. In the same time host application
can still poll virtqueue while device stopped in guest and it will
crash with segmentation fault while vring reinitialization because
of dereferencing of bad descriptor addresses.

OVS crash for example:
<------------------------------------------------------------------------>
[test-pmd inside guest VM]

	testpmd> port stop all
	    Stopping ports...
	    Checking link statuses...
	    Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
	    Done
	testpmd> port config all rxq 2
	testpmd> port config all txq 2
	testpmd> port start all
	    Configuring Port 0 (socket 0)
	    Port 0: 52:54:00:CB:44:C8
	    Checking link statuses...
	    Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
	    Done

[OVS on host]

	    #1  copy_desc_to_mbuf
	        desc_addr = 0
	        mbuf_offset = 0
	        desc_offset = 12
	        ...
<------------------------------------------------------------------------>

Fix that by checking addresses of descriptors before using them.

Note: For mergeable buffers this patch checks only guest's address for
zero, but in non-meargeable case host's address checked. This is done
because checking of host's address in mergeable case requires additional
refactoring to keep virtqueue in consistent state in case of error.

Actually, current virtio implementation looks broken for me. Because
'virtio_dev_start' breaks virtqueue while it still available from the vhost
side.

There was 2 patches about this behaviour:

	1. a85786dc816f ("virtio: fix states handling during initialization")
	2. 9a0615af7746 ("virtio: fix restart")

The second patch fixes somehow issue intoduced in the first patch, but actually
also breaks vhost in the way described above.
It's not pretty clear for me what to do in current situation with virtio,
because it will be broken for guest application even if vhost will not crash.

May be it'll be better to forbid stopping of virtio device and force user to
exit and start again (may be implemented in hidden from user way)?

This patch adds additional sane checks, so it should be applied anyway, IMHO.
