From e606490c440900e50ccf73a54f6fc6150ff40815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:27:04 -0600 Subject: lguest: clean up length-used value in example launcher The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length. Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length *read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong.
