Thanks for fixing this, and sorry for having introduced the regression.

BTW, my patch is half-complete. Indeed, it ensures no out-of-bound
accesses will be done, but it does not handle legit buffers that are
contiguous in guest physical address space, but discontiguous in the
host VA space. Such case can for example happen when having buffers
larger than the huge page size.

I have implemented the handling of such buffers in virtio-net.c, for 
example:

fb3815cc6 vhost: handle virtually non-contiguous buffers in Rx-mrg
6727f5a73 vhost: handle virtually non-contiguous buffers in Rx
91b7b4080 vhost: handle virtually non-contiguous buffers in Tx
d0c24508e vhost: add support for non-contiguous indirect descs tables

Can you try to work on such handling for next -rc release?
