It looks like I met the exact similar issue when developing ctrl vq support (which requires both READ and WRITE descriptor). While I was trying to fix the issue I found the following comment: * Note that you may need to clean up riov and wiov, even on error! */ int vringh_getdesc_iotlb(struct vringh *vrh, I saw some driver call vringh_kiov_cleanup(). So I just follow to use that. I'm not quite sure which one is better.

Me too, but in both cases the 'else if' is wrong. Either we completely remove the reset in the function or we merge this patch. In the first case, we should also fix drivers that don't call vringh_kiov_cleanup() (e.g. vdpa_sim). I'm fine with both.

If riov and wiov are both defined and they point to different objects, only riov is initialized. If the wiov is not initialized by the caller, the function fails returning -EINVAL and printing "Readable desc 0x... after writable" error message. This issue happens when descriptors have both readable and writable buffers (eg. virtio-blk devices has virtio_blk_outhdr in the readable buffer and status as last byte of writable buffer) and we call __vringh_iov() to get both type of buffers in two different iovecs. Let's replace the 'else if' clause with 'if' to initialize both riov and wiov if they are not NULL. As checkpatch pointed out, we also avoid crashing the kernel when riov and wiov are both NULL, replacing BUG() with WARN_ON() and returning -EINVAL.
