CVE-2026-64457

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio_pci: fix vq info pointer lookup via wrong index

Unbinding a virtio balloon device:

    echo virtio0 > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_balloon/unbind

triggers a NULL pointer dereference. The dmesg says:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
    [...]
    RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x5/0xf0

The virtio_balloon device registers 5 queues (inflate, deflate, stats,
free_page, reporting) but only the first two are unconditional. The
stats, free_page and reporting queues are each conditional on their
respective feature bits. When any of these features are absent, the
corresponding vqs_info entry has name == NULL, creating holes in the
array.

The root cause is an indexing mismatch introduced when vq info storage
was changed to be passed as an argument. vp_find_vqs_msix() and
vp_find_vqs_intx() store the info pointer at vp_dev->vqs[i], where 'i'
is the caller's sparse array index. However, the virtqueue itself gets
vq->index assigned from queue_idx, a dense index that skips NULL
entries. When holes exist, 'i' and queue_idx diverge. Later,
vp_del_vqs() looks up info via vp_dev->vqs[vq->index] using the dense
index into the sparsely-populated array, and hits NULL.

Fix this by storing info at vp_dev->vqs[queue_idx] instead of
vp_dev->vqs[i], so the store index matches the lookup index
(vq->index). Apply the fix to both the MSIX and INTX paths.
