CVE-2022-50851
vhost_vdpa: fix the crash in unmap a large memory
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost_vdpa: fix the crash in unmap a large memory While testing in vIOMMU, sometimes Guest will unmap very large memory, which will cause the crash. To fix this, add a new function vhost_vdpa_general_unmap(). This function will only unmap the memory that saved in iotlb.
