Subject: [PATCH 4.4 27/52] xen/blkfront: dont take local copy of a request from the ring page

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 8f5a695d99000fc3aa73934d7ced33cfc64dcdab upstream.

In order to avoid a malicious backend being able to influence the local
copy of a request build the request locally first and then copy it to
the ring page instead of doing it the other way round as today.
