The result size returned by virtio_pci_admin_dev_parts_get() is 8 bytes
larger than the actual result data size. This occurs because the
result_sg_size field of the command is filled with the result length
from virtqueue_get_buf(), which includes both the data size and an
additional 8 bytes of status.
This oversized result size causes two issues:
1. The state transferred to the destination includes 8 bytes of extra
data at the end.
2. The allocated buffer in the kernel may be smaller than the returned
size, leading to failures when reading beyond the allocated size.
The commit fixes this by subtracting the status size from the result of
virtqueue_get_buf().
This fix has been tested through live migrations with virtio-net,
virtio-net-transitional, and virtio-blk devices.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
