[1/2] vhost: check for nr_vec == 0 in desc_to_mbuf, mbuf_to_desc
Checks
Commit Message
in virtio_dev_split we cannot currently call desc_to_mbuf with
nr_vec == 0, or we end up trying to rte_memcpy from a source address
buf_vec[0] that is an uninitialized stack variable.
Improve this in general by having desc_to_mbuf and mbuf_to_desc
return -1 when called with an invalid nr_vec == 0, which should
fix any other instance of this problem.
This should fix errors that have been reported in multiple occasions
from telcos to the DPDK, OVS and QEMU projects, as this affects in
particular the openvswitch/DPDK, QEMU vhost-user setup when the
guest DPDK application abruptly goes away via SIGKILL and then
reconnects.
The back trace looks roughly like this, depending on the specific
rte_memcpy selected, etc, in any case the "src" parameter is garbage
(in this example containing 0 + dev->host_hlen(12 = 0xc)).
