[Q] vhost: returning misconfigured buffers
...n process to obtain and verify
received buffers:
head = vhost_get_vq_desc(vq, vq->iov, ARRAY_SIZE(vq->iov), &out, &in,...);
if (head < 0) {
return ret;
}
if (head == vq->num) {
/* no buffer */
return 0; /* or -EAGAIN or whatever */
}
if (out != EXPECTED_OUT_BUFFERS || in != EXPECTED_IN_BUFFERS) {
return -EINVAL;
}
/* all good, use buffers */
vhost_add_used(...);
Which seems to me to be leaking buffers in the last error case -
if the buffer configuration was unexpected. Shouldn't drivers in
such cases also use vhost_add_used() to return the buffer?
Thanks
