[PATCH 0/2] Fix pointer arithmetic in indirect read for libvhost-user and libvduse

[Temir Zharaspayev]

Hello! I have found a problem with virtqueue_read_indirect_desc function, which
was advancing pointer to struct as it was a byte pointer, so every element
comming after first chunk would be copied somewhere out of buffer.

As I understand this is cold path, but nevertheless worth fixing.

Also, exacly same problem in vduse_queue_read_indirect_desc function, because
as I understand it is a copy of virtqueue_read_indirect_desc with vduse
backend.

I was not sure if element of scattered buffer may end in the middle of
vring_desc struct data, so instead of writing
desc += read_len/sizeof(struct vring_desc)
have implemented fix with proper byte pointer arithmetic.

Sincerely,
Temir.
