[PATCH 2/3] vhost: better detection of available buffers

From: Jason Wang
Date: Wed Nov 09 2016 - 02:38:50 EST


We should use vq->last_avail_idx instead of vq->avail_idx in the
checking of vhost_vq_avail_empty() since latter is the cached avail
index from guest but we want to know if there's pending available
buffers in the virtqueue.
