The problem is in virtqueue_split_get_avail_bytes().

On start, max is set to vq->vring.num (255), then in the
virtqueue_get_head() loop we read an indirect descriptor and max is set
to desc.len / sizeof(VRingDesc) (268345360). cache->len is
indirect_desc_cache.len, initialized from desc_len. So it is fine.

But after that desc is consumed by virtqueue_split_read_next_desc() and
then indirect_desc_cache is destroyed by address_space_cache_destroy(),
but max is not reset and used to check the next access with a new desc
that has a different size.

I think max should be reset when the cache is destroyed or set at the
begining of the loop.

Something like:

diff --git a/hw/virtio/virtio.c b/hw/virtio/virtio.c
index b6c8ef5bc025..f6d90a99e5e4 100644
