4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jan Beulich jbeulich@suse.com
commit c7ec4f2d684e17d69bbdd7c4324db0ef5daac26a upstream.
While frontends may submit zero-size requests (wasting a precious slot), core networking code as of at least 3ece782693c4b ("sock: skb_copy_ubufs support for compound pages") can't deal with SKBs when they have all zero-size fragments. Respond to empty requests right when populating fragments; all further processing is fragment based and hence won't encounter these empty requests anymore.
In a way this should have been that way from the beginning: When no data is to be transferred for a particular request, there's not even a point in validating the respective grant ref. That's no different from e.g. passing NULL into memcpy() when at the same time the size is 0.
This is XSA-448 / CVE-2023-46838.
