+Subject: xen: fix bio vec merging
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The current test for bio vec merging is not fully accurate and can be
+tricked into merging bios when certain grant combinations are used.
+The result of these malicious bio merges is a bio that extends past
+the memory page used by any of the originating bios.
+
+Take into account the following scenario, where a guest creates two
+grant references that point to the same mfn, ie: grant 1 -> mfn A,
+grant 2 -> mfn A.
+
+These references are then used in a PV block request, and mapped by
+the backend domain, thus obtaining two different pfns that point to
+the same mfn, pfn B -> mfn A, pfn C -> mfn A.
+
+If those grants happen to be used in two consecutive sectors of a disk
+IO operation becoming two different bios in the backend domain, the
+checks in xen_biovec_phys_mergeable will succeed, because bfn1 == bfn2
+(they both point to the same mfn). However due to the bio merging,
+the backend domain will end up with a bio that expands past mfn A into
+mfn A + 1.
+
+Fix this by making sure the check in xen_biovec_phys_mergeable takes
+into account the offset and the length of the bio, this basically
+replicates whats done in __BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE using mfns (bus
+addresses). While there also remove the usage of
+__BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE, since that's already checked by the callers
+of xen_biovec_phys_mergeable.
