SeongJae Park 68d139a974 xenbus/xenbus_backend: Disallow pending watch messages
commit 9996bd494794a2fe393e97e7a982388c6249aa76 upstream.

'xenbus_backend' watches 'state' of devices, which is writable by
guests.  Hence, if guests intensively updates it, dom0 will have lots of
pending events that exhausting memory of dom0.  In other words, guests
can trigger dom0 memory pressure.  This is known as XSA-349.  However,
the watch callback of it, 'frontend_changed()', reads only 'state', so
doesn't need to have the pending events.

To avoid the problem, this commit disallows pending watch messages for
'xenbus_backend' using the 'will_handle()' watch callback.

This is part of XSA-349

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
