Dongli Zhang 41cff026cf vhost: modify vhost_log_write() for broader users
Currently, the only user of vhost_log_write() is vhost-net. The 'len'
argument prevents logging of pages that are not tainted by the RX path.

Adjustments are needed since more drivers (i.e. vhost-scsi) begin using
vhost_log_write(). So far vhost-net RX path may only partially use pages
shared via the last vring descriptor. Unlike vhost-net, vhost-scsi always
logs all pages shared via vring descriptors. To accommodate this,
use (len == U64_MAX) to indicate whether the driver would log all pages of
vring descriptors, or only pages that are tainted by the driver.

In addition, removes BUG().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
