Subject: CVE-2022-50851: vhost_vdpa: fix the crash in unmap a large memory

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost_vdpa: fix the crash in unmap a large memory

While testing in vIOMMU, sometimes Guest will unmap very large memory,
which will cause the crash. To fix this, add a new function
vhost_vdpa_general_unmap(). This function will only unmap the memory
that saved in iotlb.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
