Subject: vhost_net: zerocopy: fix possible NULL pointer dereference of vq->bufs
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c460f0573941cb28dc7f35595679c3508f0ce41f;p=linux-beck.git

vhost_net: zerocopy: fix possible NULL pointer dereference of vq->bufs

When we want to disable vhost_net backend while there's a tx work, a possible
NULL pointer defernece may happen we we try to deference the vq->bufs after
vhost_net_set_backend() assign a NULL to it.

As suggested by Michael, fix this by checking the vq->bufs instead of
vhost_sock_zcopy().
