Andrea Parri (Microsoft) 0102eeedb7 hv_netvsc: Allocate the recv_buf buffers after NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_SEND_RECV_BUF
The recv_buf buffers are allocated in netvsc_device_add().  Later in
netvsc_init_buf() the response to NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_SEND_RECV_BUF allows
the host to set up a recv_section_size that could be bigger than the
(default) value used for that allocation.  The host-controlled value
could be used by a malicious host to bypass the check on the packet's
length in netvsc_receive() and hence to overflow the recv_buf buffer.

Move the allocation of the recv_buf buffers into netvsc_init_but().

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.
