[PATCH 4.20 15/32] vhost: correctly check the return value of translate_desc() in log_used()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 816db7663565cd23f74ed3d5c9240522e3fb0dda ]

When fail, translate_desc() returns negative value, otherwise the
number of iovs. So we should fail when the return value is negative
instead of a blindly check against zero.
