virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-around
The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx. Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx wraps around. This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
