When sending control commands, virtio net sets up several buffers for DMA. The buffers are all part of the net device which means it's actually allocated by kvmalloc so it's in theory (on extreme memory pressure) possible to get a vmalloc'ed buffer which on some platforms means we can't DMA there. Fix up by moving the DMA buffers into a separate structure. Reported-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
