From 816db7663565cd23f74ed3d5c9240522e3fb0dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2019 14:53:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vhost: correctly check the return value of translate_desc() in log_used() 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.
