[PATCH][VIRTIO] Fix vring_init() ring computations

From: Anthony Liguori
Date: Tue Nov 06 2007 - 21:52:32 EST


This patch fixes a typo in vring_init(). This happens to work today in lguest
because the sizeof(struct vring_desc) is 16 and struct vring contains 3
pointers and an unsigned int so on 32-bit
sizeof(struct vring_desc) == sizeof(struct vring). However, this is no longer
true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed.
