Jason Wang 6706210b38 vhost: fix OOB in get_rx_bufs() 
[ Upstream commit b46a0bf78a ]

After batched used ring updating was introduced in commit e2b3b35eb9
("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"). We tend to batch heads in
vq->heads for more than one packet. But the quota passed to
get_rx_bufs() was not correctly limited, which can result a OOB write
in vq->heads.

        headcount = get_rx_bufs(vq, vq->heads + nvq->done_idx,
                    vhost_len, &in, vq_log, &log,
                    likely(mergeable) ? UIO_MAXIOV : 1);

UIO_MAXIOV was still used which is wrong since we could have batched
used in vq->heads, this will cause OOB if the next buffer needs more
than 960 (1024 (UIO_MAXIOV) - 64 (VHOST_NET_BATCH)) heads after we've
batched 64 (VHOST_NET_BATCH) heads:

Fixing this by allocating UIO_MAXIOV + VHOST_NET_BATCH iovs for
vhost-net. This is done through set the limitation through
vhost_dev_init(), then set_owner can allocate the number of iov in a
per device manner.

This fixes CVE-2018-16880.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
