Hi,

the vring_size() formula in section 2.3 seems to miss

(a) "vring_avail.used_event" in the first ALIGN(), and

(b) "vring_used.flags", "vring_used.idx", "vring_used.avail_event" in
the second ALIGN().

vring_size() in Appendix A fixes (b) (no rounding up to page size
though), but (a) is wrong there too, I believe.

Thanks,
Laszlo

Hi Laszlo,

        The effect is the same, due to ALIGN().  However, the latest
copy of the spec on github should be consistent.  Indeed, I cleaned up
the header in the Appendix so it actually compiles...

Cheers,
Rusty.
