Only retry on serial_xmit if qemu_chr_fe_write returns 0, as this is the
ae23c9
only recoverable error.
ae23c9
ae23c9
Retrying with any other scenario, in addition to being a waste of CPU
ae23c9
cycles, can compromise the Guest stability if by the vCPU issuing the
ae23c9
write and the main loop thread are, by chance or explicit pinning,
ae23c9
running on the same pCPU.
