[PATCH] vhost: allow batching hint without size

[PATCH] vhost: allow batching hint without size

[Jason Wang]

Commit e2ae38cf3d91 ("vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb
entries") tries to reject the IOTLB message whose size is zero. But
the size is not necessarily meaningful, one example is the batching
hint, so the commit breaks that.

Fixing this be reject zero size message only if the message is used to
update/invalidate the IOTLB.
