vhost was dong some complex math to get
offset to log at, and got it wrong by a couple of bytes,
while in fact it's simple: get address where we write,
subtract start of buffer, add log base.

Do it this way.

get_user_pages_fast returns number of pages on success, negative value
on failure, but never 0. Fix vhost code to match this logic.

Can't this be easily triggered from user space?

I think no. get_user_pages_fast always returns number of pages
pinned (in this case always 1) or an error (< 0).
Anything else is a kernel bug.

We explain what smp_wmb() does.

Once here, can we add a comment explaining _what_ are we trying to write
to the log? michael explains that t is the used element and the index,
but nothing states that.

It can return 0 if you ask for 0 pages :)
From the comment:

* Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number
* requested. If nr_pages is 0 or negative, returns 0. If no pages
* were pinned, returns -errno.
*/

I agree that code was wrong, but the BUG_ON() is not neccessary
IMHO. The important bit is the change in the comparison.

Just for the record I'm generally not interested in vhost
patches.

If it's a specific network one that will be merged via
the networking tree, yes please CC: me.

But if it's a bunch of changes to vhost.c and other pieces
of infrastructure, feel free to leave me out of it. It just
clutters my already overflowing inbox.

Thanks.

Dave, so while Rusty's on vacation, what's the best way to get vhost
infrastructure fixes in? Are you ok with getting pull requests and
merging them into net-next? That should keep the clutter in your inbox
to the minimum.

Of course network changes would still go the usual way.

Well, who is providing oversight of vhost work while he's
gone? Has he, implicitly or explicitly, appointed a maintainer
while he's away?

My plan was to get peer review of the patches before merging.
So far Juan Quintela and Gleb Natapov gave feedback.

Implicitly, I guess. He said "if there's an issue Michael Tsirkin is the
best person to resolve it", this was wrt merging his virtio&lguest tree.
He didn't mention vhost, I wrote all of vhost though, there shouldn't be
an issue with that.

That's good enough for me.

Feel free to setup a tree for me to pull from.
