num_queues, the driver may end up trying to allocating zero size buffers where ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned which may pass the checking against the NULL. This will lead unexpected results. Fixing this by failing the probe in this case.

Reviewed-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>No IMO - I don't think we can reasonably expect stable to become protected against attacks on encrypted guests. That's a new feature, not a bugfix.
Yep, make sense. I had only seen the single patch, not the entire series, and it seemed like a fix. Viewed as a whole, it makes sense to consider it a new feature to improve audits in the guest.
