Fixes: a436f53ebfeb ("vhost: avoid dead loop chain") Cc: Yuanhan Liu Signed-off-by: Maxime Coquelin --- Hi Yuanhan, I faced the bug while testing my indirect descriptor patch, it happens as soon as the number of chained descritors is above 2. But the bug may in theory also be faced with normal descriptors, so it might be good to have it 16.07?
