Subject: [PATCH 3.13 180/212] virtio_blk: don't crash, report error if virtqueue is broken.

3.13.11.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au>

commit 5261b85e586afe6ebe54e16e0a8acc32fc6d4902 upstream.

A bad implementation of virtio might cause us to mark the virtqueue
broken: we'll dev_err() in that case, and the device is useless, but
let's not BUG_ON().

ENOMEM or ENOSPC implies the ring is full, and we should try again
later (-ENOMEM is documented to happen, but doesn't, as we fall
through to ENOSPC).

EIO means it's broken.
