Subject: [PATCH 3.2 09/94] vhost: validate vhost_get_vq_desc return value

3.2.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit a39ee449f96a2cd44ce056d8a0a112211a9b1a1f ]

vhost fails to validate negative error code
from vhost_get_vq_desc causing
a crash: we are using -EFAULT which is 0xfffffff2
as vector size, which exceeds the allocated size.

The code in question was introduced in commit
8dd014adfea6f173c1ef6378f7e5e7924866c923
    vhost-net: mergeable buffers support

CVE-2014-0055
