Jones) and found this commit to be at fault 07ec51480b5eb1233f8c1b0f5d7a7c8d1247c507 is the first bad commit commit 07ec51480b5eb1233f8c1b0f5d7a7c8d1247c507 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Date: Sun Feb 5 18:15:19 2017 +0100 virtio_pci: use shared interrupts for virtqueues The issue seems to be an out of bounds access to the msix_names array corrupting kernel memory.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
