SubjectRE: [PATCH v6 1/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add vmbus_requestor data structure for VMBus hardening
Date

> Currently, VMbus drivers use pointers into guest memory as request IDs
> for interactions with Hyper-V. To be more robust in the face of errors
> or malicious behavior from a compromised Hyper-V, avoid exposing
> guest memory addresses to Hyper-V. Also avoid Hyper-V giving back a
> bad request ID that is then treated as the address of a guest data
> structure with no validation. Instead, encapsulate these memory
> addresses and provide small integers as request IDs.

> Changes in v6:
> - Offset request IDs by 1 keeping the original initialization
> code.
> Changes in v5:
> - Add support for unsolicited messages sent by the host with a
> request ID of 0.
> Changes in v4:
> - Use channel->rqstor_size to check if rqstor has been
> initialized.
> Changes in v3:
> - Check that requestor has been initialized in
> vmbus_next_request_id() and vmbus_request_addr().
> Changes in v2:
> - Get rid of "rqstor" variable in __vmbus_open().
