+Subject: [PATCH] virtio: error out if guest exceeds virtqueue size
+
+A broken or malicious guest can submit more requests than the virtqueue
+size permits.
+
+The guest can submit requests without bothering to wait for completion
+and is therefore not bound by virtqueue size. This requires reusing
+vring descriptors in more than one request, which is incorrect but
+possible. Processing a request allocates a VirtQueueElement and
+therefore causes unbounded memory allocation controlled by the guest.
+
+Exit with an error if the guest provides more requests than the
+virtqueue size permits. This bounds memory allocation and makes the
+buggy guest visible to the user.
