From: Jan Beulich jbeulich@suse.com
commit 089bc0143f489bd3a4578bdff5f4ca68fb26f341 upstream.
Rather than constructing a local structure instance on the stack, fill the fields directly on the shared ring, just like other backends do. Build on the fact that all response structure flavors are actually identical (the old code did make this assumption too).
This is XSA-216.
