9p/trans_virtio.c: Fix broken zero-copy on vmalloc() buffers
The 9p-virtio transport does zero copy on things larger than 1024 bytes in size. It accomplishes this by returning the physical addresses of pages to the virtio-pci device. At present, the translation is usually a bit shift. That approach produces an invalid page address when we read/write to vmalloc buffers, such as those used for Linux kernel modules. Any attempt to load a Linux kernel module from 9p-virtio produces the following stack. [<ffffffff814878ce>] p9_virtio_zc_request+0x45e/0x510 [<ffffffff814814ed>] p9_client_zc_rpc.constprop.16+0xfd/0x4f0 [<ffffffff814839dd>] p9_client_read+0x15d/0x240 [<ffffffff811c8440>] v9fs_fid_readn+0x50/0xa0 [<ffffffff811c84a0>] v9fs_file_readn+0x10/0x20 [<ffffffff811c84e7>] v9fs_file_read+0x37/0x70 [<ffffffff8114e3fb>] vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 [<ffffffff81153571>] kernel_read+0x41/0x60 [<ffffffff810c83ab>] copy_module_from_fd.isra.34+0xfb/0x180 Subsequently, QEMU will die printing: qemu-system-x86_64: virtio:...
