I'm missing a might_sleep() call in this function.

It seems that sg_init_one() is only setting fields, in this
case you can move spin_lock_irqsave() here.

Is this error handling code assuming that at some point
virtqueue_add_sgs() will succeed for a different thread? If yes,
what happens if the assumption is false? That is, what happens if
virtqueue_add_sgs() never succeeds anymore?

Why not just return an error?

If I'm understanding the QEMU code correctly, you're returning EIO
from QEMU if fsync() fails. I think this is wrong, since we don't know
if EIO in QEMU will be the same EIO in the guest. One way to solve this
would be to return 0 for success and 1 for failure from QEMU, and let the
guest implementation pick its error code (for your implementation it
could be EIO).
