[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] vhost: fix overflow on shadow used ring

[Tiwei Bie]

The shadow used ring's size is the same as the vq's size,
so we shouldn't try more than "vq size" times. Besides,
the element pointed by avail->idx isn't available to the
device, so we will return error when try "vq size" times.

Fixes: 24e4844048e1 ("vhost: unify Rx mergeable and non-mergeable paths")
Fixes: a922401f35cc ("vhost: add Rx support for packed ring")
