[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] v9fs_walk: As per 9p2000 RFC, MAXWELEM >= nwnames >= 0.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] v9fs_walk: As per 9p2000 RFC, MAXWELEM >= nwnames >= 0.

[Harsh Prateek Bora]

    The nwnames field in TWALK message is assumed to be >=0 and <= MAXWELEM
    which is defined as macro P9_MAXWELEM (16) in virtio-9p.h as per 9p2000
    RFC. Appropriate changes are required in V9fsWalkState and v9fs_walk.

v4:
- rebased on mainline repo, else condition updated as required.

v3:
- Updated if-else conditions to appropriately handle nwnames = 0.

v2:
- Added check in v9fs_walk_complete as well.
