Neeraj Upadhyay e74cfa91f4 vringh: Use wiov->used to check for read/write desc order
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.

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 Restructured Text 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.
