Commit Message

Dr. David Alan Gilbert May 4, 2018, 9:53 a.m. UTC
From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

The response to a VHOST_USER_POSTCOPY_ADVISE contains a fd but doesn't
actually contain any data.   FIx vu_message_write so that it doesn't
do a 0-byte write() call, since this was ending up with rc=0
that was confusing the error handling code.

s/a fd/an fd/ ? Depends on whether you pronounce it "eff-dee" or 
"file-descriptor".
