[ Upstream commit 30c22f3816ffef8aa21a000e93c4ee1402a6ea65 ] Per VIRTIO v1.1 specification, section 5.1.3.1 Feature bit requirements: "VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ Requires VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ". There's assumption in the mlx5_vdpa multiqueue code that MQ must come together with CTRL_VQ. However, there's nowhere in the upper layer to guarantee this assumption would hold. Were there an untrusted driver sending down MQ without CTRL_VQ, it would compromise various spots for e.g. is_index_valid() and is_ctrl_vq_idx(). Although this doesn't end up with immediate panic or security loophole as of today's code, the chance for this to be taken advantage of due to future code change is not zero. Harden the crispy assumption by failing the set_driver_features() call when seeing (MQ && !CTRL_VQ). For that end, verify_min_features() is renamed to verify_driver_features() to reflect the fact that it now does more than just validate the minimum features. verify_driver_features() is now used to accommodate various checks against the driver features for set_driver_features().

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.
