[SRU][Artful][PATCH 0/1] hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750349

== SRU Justification ==
This commit is being requested in Bionic and linux-azure by Microsoft.  It has 
already been applied to Bionic.  It is being requested in Artful, so it makes
it's way into linux-azure through the re-base process.

This fix is required if a large number of records are injected into a pool, 
which can cause the kvp daemon to crash.

This commit has been cc'd to upstream stable.  However, it has not yet been applied
to Artful, since upstream 4.13 is EOL.

== Fix ==
297d6b6e56c2 ("hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file")

== Regression Potential ==
Low. This patch has also been sent to upstream stable, so it has had additional upstream
review.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
