What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio-blk: Avoid use-after-free on suspend/resume

hctx->user_data is set to vq in virtblk_init_hctx(). However, vq is

freed on suspend and reallocated on resume. So, hctx->user_data is

invalid after resume, and it will cause use-after-free accessing which

will result in the kernel crash something like below:

This patch fixes this issue by getting vq from vblk, and removes

virtblk_init_hctx().
