Virtualization - Dec 2019 - [PATCH 1/2] virtio-balloon: initialize all vq callbacks

Ensure that elements of the array that correspond to unavailable
features are set to NULL; previously, they would be left uninitialized.

Since the corresponding names array elements were explicitly set to
NULL, the uninitialized callback pointers would not actually be
dereferenced; however, the uninitialized callbacks elements would still
be read in vp_find_vqs_msix() and used to calculate the number of MSI-X
vectors required.

VQs without a name specified are not valid; they are skipped in the
later loop that assigns MSI-X vectors to queues, but the per_vq_vectors
loop above that counts the required number of vectors previously still
counted any queue with a non-NULL callback as needing a vector.

Add a check to the per_vq_vectors loop so that vectors with no name are
not counted to make the two loops consistent.  This prevents
over-counting unnecessary vectors (e.g. for features which were not
negotiated with the device).

And I'll add:
Fixes: 9564e138b1f6 ("virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the
balloon driver (V4)")

here too.

Actually, we already have the issue with the stats VQ, no?

So I think this one is more appropriate:
Fixes: 9564e138b1f6 ("virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the
balloon driver (V4)")

I think things were OK in 9564e138b1f6 because nvqs was calculated
based on the available features, so the later elements of the array
would not have been inspected by find_vqs.  86a559787e6f introduced
the uninitialized array elements as well as the removal of dynamic
nvqs based on features.

With your 2nd patch:
if (names[i] && callbacks[i])
     ++nvectors;

It seems this patch isn't necessary as names[i] is already NULL, isn't
it?

Best,

Right but passing uninitialized values isn't nice even if
the function called happens to ignore them.

Alternatively, it might make sense to zero the whole array and drop the
explicit NULL assignments, which would also be a bit more future
proof... but this one fixes things as well, of course.
