[PATCH] vhost: return EINVAL if iovecs size does not match the message size

[Pavel Tikhomirov]

We've failed to copy and process vhost_iotlb_msg so let userspace at
least know about it. For instance before these patch the code below runs
without any error:

int main()
{
  struct vhost_msg msg;
  struct iovec iov;
  int fd;

  fd = open("/dev/vhost-net", O_RDWR);
  if (fd == -1) {
    perror("open");
    return 1;
  }

  iov.iov_base = &msg;
  iov.iov_len = sizeof(msg)-4;

  if (writev(fd, &iov,1) == -1) {
    perror("writev");
    return 1;
  }

  return 0;
}
