tcm_vhost: Fix vhost_scsi_target structure alignment
Here TRANSPORT_IQN_LEN is 224, which is a multiple of 4. Since vhost_tpgt is 2 bytes and abi_version is 4, the total size would be 230. But gcc needs struct size be aligned to first field size, which is 4 bytes, so it pads the structure by extra 2 bytes to the total of 232. This padding is very undesirable in an ABI: - it can not be initialized easily - it can not be checked easily - it can leak information between kernel and userspace Simplest solution is probably just to make the padding explicit. (v2: Add check for zero'ed backend->reserved field for VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and VHOST_SCSI_CLEAR_ENDPOINT ops as requested by MST) Reported-by: Michael S.
