Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix error handling in vring ioctls

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:42:50 +0200

Stanse found a locking problem in vhost_set_vring:
several returns from VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK, VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL,
VHOST_SET_VRING_ERR with the vq->mutex held.
Fix these up.
