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

virtio-blk: Avoid use-after-free on suspend/resume

hctx->userdata is set to vq in virtblkinithctx(). However, vq is freed on suspend and reallocated on resume. So, hctx->userdata is invalid after resume, and it will cause use-after-free accessing which will result in the kernel crash something like below:

This patch fixes this issue by getting vq from vblk, and removes virtblkinithctx().
