3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Greg Kurz <groug@xxxxxxxx> commit 26d99834f89e76514076d9cd06f61e56e6a509b8 upstream. When a 9p request is successfully flushed, the server is expected to just mark it as used without sending a 9p reply (ie, without writing data into the buffer). In this case, virtqueue_get_buf() will return len == 0 and we must not report a REQ_STATUS_RCVD status to the client, otherwise the client will erroneously assume the request has not been flushed.
