ubuf info allocator uses guest controlled head as an index,
so a malicious guest could put the same head entry in the ring twice,
and we will get two callbacks on the same value.
To fix use upend_idx which is guaranteed to be unique.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.

And thankfully you got the stable URL wrong,

Yes I wrote stable@kernel.org that's what an old copy
says here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

I should have known better than look at it on the 'net.  The top
'Everything you ever wanted to know about Linux 2.6 -stable releases.'
is a big hint that it's stale.
Any idea who maintains this? Better update it or remove it or redirect to git.

please do not CC:
networking patches to stable, just make sure I apply them and in
your post-commit text explicitly ask me to queue it up to my
-stable queue.

Thanks.
