From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently the loop that calls log_write_hva on each iovec is never executed because of an incorrect error check on the return from the call to translate_desc. The check should be checking for a -ve error return and because it makes no sense to iterate over zero items, the checks should also check for zero too.
