Juergen Gross 6d1c2f48f3 xen/scsifront: harden driver against malicious backend
Instead of relying on a well behaved PV scsi backend verify all meta
data received from the backend and avoid multiple reads of the same
data from the shared ring page.

In case any illegal data from the backend is detected switch the
PV device to a new "error" state and deactivate it for further use.

Use the "lateeoi" variant for the event channel in order to avoid
event storms blocking the guest.

README

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.
