Roger Pau Monne 2400617da7 xen/blkfront: force data bouncing when backend is untrusted
Split the current bounce buffering logic used with persistent grants
into it's own option, and allow enabling it independently of
persistent grants.  This allows to reuse the same code paths to
perform the bounce buffering required to avoid leaking contiguous data
in shared pages not part of the request fragments.

Reporting whether the backend is to be trusted can be done using a
module parameter, or from the xenstore frontend path as set by the
toolstack when adding the device.

This is CVE-2022-33742, part of XSA-403.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
