[V2 PATCH 6/9] 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().
