So, I folded this into your original patch submission,
this way we don't get broken logging followed
by a fix (better for bisect). Further, I think it's better to only use log_num
on success. After fixing whitespace (+ needs space around it:
didn't checkpatch complain?) I merged the below,
and rebased my tweaks patch on top.

The result can be found here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost.git vhost-mrg-rxbuf

Compiles fine but I'm a bit busy with other things,
and didn't test at all yet, I'd appreciate testing and reports.
