Hi,
This patch set fixes two bugs of splice_write in the virtio-console driver.
[BUG1] Although pipe->nrbufs is empty, the driver tries to do splice_write.
=> This induces oops in sg_init_table().
[BUG2] No lock for competition of splice_write.
=> This induces oops in splice_from_pipe_feed() by bug of any user
application.
These reports are written in each patch.
Changes in V2:
- Fix a locking problem for error
Thanks!
