"""
Since "vhost/scsi: fix reuse of &vq->iov[out] in response"
we have this:
cmd->tvc_resp_iov = vq->iov[vc.out];
cmd->tvc_in_iovs = vc.in;
combined with
iov_iter_init(&iov_iter, ITER_DEST, &cmd->tvc_resp_iov,
cmd->tvc_in_iovs, sizeof(v_rsp));
in vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work(). We used to have ->tvc_resp_iov
_pointing_ to vq->iov[vc.out]; back then iov_iter_init() asked to
set an iovec-backed iov_iter over the tail of vq->iov[], with
length being the amount of iovecs in the tail.
Now we have a copy of one element of that array. Fortunately, the members
following it in the containing structure are two non-NULL kernel pointers,
so copy_to_iter() will not copy anything beyond the first iovec - kernel
pointer is not (on the majority of architectures) going to be accepted by
access_ok() in copyout() and it won't be skipped since the "length" (in
reality - another non-NULL kernel pointer) won't be zero.
So it's not going to give a guest-to-qemu escalation, but it's definitely
a bug. Frankly, my preference would be to verify that the very first iovec
is long enough to hold rsp_size. Due to the above, any users that try to
give us vq->iov[vc.out].iov_len < sizeof(struct virtio_scsi_cmd_resp)
would currently get a failure in vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work()
anyway.
"""
However, the spec doesn't say anything about the legacy descriptor
layout for the respone. So this patch tries to not assume the response
to reside in a single separate descriptor which is what commit
79c14141a487 ("vhost/scsi: Convert completion path to use") tries to
achieve towards to ANY_LAYOUT.
This is done by allocating and using dedicate resp iov in the
command. To be safety, start with UIO_MAXIOV to be consistent with the
limitation that we advertise to the vhost_get_vq_desc().
Testing with the hacked virtio-scsi driver that use 1 descriptor for 1
byte in the response.

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.
