Doing so, we save one call to get data we already have in the struct.

Also, since there is no guarantee that getname use sockaddr_ll
parameter beyond its size, we add a little bit of security here.
It should do not do beyond MAX_ADDR_LEN, but syzbot found that
ax25_getname writes more (72 bytes, the size of full_sockaddr_ax25,
versus 20 + 32 bytes of sockaddr_ll + MAX_ADDR_LEN in syzbot repro).

Each of these drivers has a copy of the same trivial helper function to
convert the pointer argument and then call the native ioctl handler.

We now have a generic implementation of that, so use it.

<title>vhost_net: disable zerocopy by default</title>

Vhost_net was known to suffer from HOL[1] issues which is not easy to
fix. Several downstream disable the feature by default. What's more,
the datapath was split and datacopy path got the support of batching
and XDP support recently which makes it faster than zerocopy part for
small packets transmission.

It looks to me that disable zerocopy by default is more
appropriate. It cold be enabled by default again in the future if we
fix the above issues.

Rename the function to be more accurate since it actually tries to

following patch to prefetch metadata virtual addresses.

<id>e2412c07f8f3040593dfb88207865a3cd58680c0</id>
<content type='text'>
When the rx buffer is too small for a packet, we will discard the vq
descriptor and retry it for the next packet:

while ((sock_len = vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len(net, sock-&gt;sk,
					      &amp;busyloop_intr))) {
...
	/* On overrun, truncate and discard */
	if (unlikely(headcount &gt; UIO_MAXIOV)) {
		iov_iter_init(&amp;msg.msg_iter, READ, vq-&gt;iov, 1, 1);
		err = sock-&gt;ops-&gt;recvmsg(sock, &amp;msg,
					 1, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC);
		pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: len %zd\n", sock_len);
		continue;
	}
...
}

This makes it possible to trigger a infinite while..continue loop
through the co-opreation of two VMs like:

1) Malicious VM1 allocate 1 byte rx buffer and try to slow down the
   vhost process as much as possible e.g using indirect descriptors or
   other.
2) Malicious VM2 generate packets to VM1 as fast as possible

Fixing this by checking against weight at the end of RX and TX
loop. This also eliminate other similar cases when:

- userspace is consuming the packets in the meanwhile
- theoretical TOCTOU attack if guest moving avail index back and forth
  to hit the continue after vhost find guest just add new buffers

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

We used to have vhost_exceeds_weight() for vhost-net to:

- prevent vhost kthread from hogging the cpu
- balance the time spent between TX and RX

This function could be useful for vsock and scsi as well. So move it
to vhost.c. Device must specify a weight which counts the number of
requests, or it can also specific a byte_weight which counts the
number of bytes that has been processed.

<title>vhost: fix OOB in get_rx_bufs()</title>

<content type='text'>
After batched used ring updating was introduced in commit e2b3b35eb989
("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"). We tend to batch heads in
vq-&gt;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-&gt;heads.

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

UIO_MAXIOV was still used which is wrong since we could have batched
used in vq-&gt;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.

After batched used ring updating was introduced in commit e2b3b35eb989
("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"). We tend to batch heads in
vq-&gt;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-&gt;heads.

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

UIO_MAXIOV was still used which is wrong since we could have batched
used in vq-&gt;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:
