From 8c6bab4f3874d31804a00782c48a8f244a0d3cc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luiz Capitulino Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 15:35:13 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_balloon: leak_balloon(): only tell host if we got pages deflated balloon_page_dequeue() can return NULL. If it does for the first page being freed then leak_balloon() will create a scatter list with len=0. Which in turn seems to generate an invalid virtio request. I didn't get this in practice, I found it by code review. On the other hand, such an invalid virtio request will cause errors in QEMU and fill_balloon() also performs the same check implemented by this commit. This bug was introduced in e2250429.
