Subject: [PATCH v2] vringh: Use wiov->used to check for read/write desc order
Date:   Fri, 25 Jun 2021 08:55:02 +0530
Message-Id: <1624591502-4827-1-git-send-email-neeraju@codeaurora.org>
Precedence: bulk

As __vringh_iov() traverses a descriptor chain, it populates
each descriptor entry into either read or write vring iov
and increments that iov's ->used member. So, as we iterate
over a descriptor chain, at any point, (riov/wriov)->used
value gives the number of descriptor enteries available,
which are to be read or written by the device. As all read
iovs must precede the write iovs, wiov->used should be zero
when we are traversing a read descriptor. Current code checks
for wiov->i, to figure out whether any previous entry in the
current descriptor chain was a write descriptor. However,
iov->i is only incremented, when these vring iovs are consumed,
at a later point, and remain 0 in __vringh_iov(). So, correct
the check for read and write descriptor order, to use
wiov->used.
