   struct mfi_ctrl_props info;

'dcmd_size' is same as that of 'info' object.

Ok, then this patch is definitely bogus. The guest may receive less than the size of the info object. So we really want to have a MIN() between the maximum allowed transfer size (sizeof(info)) and the requested size (cmd->iov_size) here.
