xen/blkif: Avoid double access to src->nr_segments
|
||
|
|
||
|
src is stored in shared memory and src->nr_segments is dereferenced
|
||
|
twice at the end of the function. If a compiler decides to compile this
|
||
|
into two separate memory accesses then the size limitation could be
|
||
|
bypassed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fix it by removing the double access to src->nr_segments.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is part of XSA-155.
