Virtualization - Oct 2021 - [PATCH v4 2/2] virtio_ring: check desc == NULL when using indirect with packed

When using indirect with packed, we don't check for allocation failures.
This patch checks that and fall back on direct.

Fixes: 1ce9e6055fa ("virtio_ring: introduce packed ring support")

Was a crash observed with this? It seems quite likely ...
