Subject: [PATCH] spice-qemu-char.c: add throttling

BZ: 672191

upstream: not submitted (explained below)

Adds throttling support to spicevmc chardev. Uses a timer to avoid recursing:

1. spice-server: reds.c:            read_from_vdi_port

2. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: vmc_read

3.                                  chr_write_unblocked

                                (calls virtio_serial_throttle_port(port, false))

4. qemu:         virtio ...

5. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: spice_chr_write

6. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: wakeup (calls into spice-server)

7. spice-server: ...

8. qemu:         spice-qemu-char.c: vmc_read

Instead, in vmc_read if we were throttled and we are just about to return

all the bytes we will set a timer to be triggered immediately to call

chr_write_unblocked. Then we return after 2 above, and 3 is called from the

timer callback. This also means we can later remove some ugly recursion protection

from spice-server.

The other tricky point in this patch is not returning the leftover chunk twice.

When we throttle, by definition we have data that spice server didn't consume.

It is being kept by virtio-serial, and by us. The next vmc_read callback needs

to not return it, but just do unthrottling. Then virtio will give us the remaining

chunk as usual in spice_chr_write, and we will pass it to spice server in the

next vmc_read.

This patch relies on Amit's series to expose throttling to chardev's, which

was not accepted upstream, and will not be accepted upstream until the mainloop

is reworked to use glib.
