[PATCH] net/memif: fix buffer overflow in zero copy Rx

[PATCH] net/memif: fix buffer overflow in zero copy Rx

[Mihai Brodschi]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2684 bytes --]

rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk is called by the zero-copy receiver to allocate
new mbufs to be provided to the sender. The allocated mbuf pointers
are stored in a ring, but the alloc function doesn't implement index
wrap-around, so it writes past the end of the array. This results in
memory corruption and duplicate mbufs being received.

Allocate 2x the space for the mbuf ring, so that the alloc function
has a contiguous array to write to, then copy the excess entries
to the start of the array.
