Stefan Hajnoczi f15c072d65 vhost/vsock: fix use-after-free in network stack callers
commit 834e772c8db0c6a275d75315d90aba4ebbb1e249 upstream.

If the network stack calls .send_pkt()/.cancel_pkt() during .release(),
a struct vhost_vsock use-after-free is possible.  This occurs because
.release() does not wait for other CPUs to stop using struct
vhost_vsock.

Switch to an RCU-enabled hashtable (indexed by guest CID) so that
.release() can wait for other CPUs by calling synchronize_rcu().  This
also eliminates vhost_vsock_lock acquisition in the data path so it
could have a positive effect on performance.

This is CVE-2018-14625 "kernel: use-after-free Read in vhost_transport_send_pkt".

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.
