virtio-console: Fix failure on unconnected pty
|
|
|
d2798f |
|
|
|
d2798f |
when I tried qemu with -virtio-console pty the guest hangs and attaching
|
|
|
d2798f |
on /dev/pts/<x> does not return anything if the attachment is too late.
|
|
|
d2798f |
|
|
|
d2798f |
This results in pty_chr_write() returning 0, which causes the port to
|
|
|
d2798f |
get throttled. This results in the guest getting frozen as the
|
|
|
d2798f |
guest->host virtio_console writes don't return until the host releases
|
|
|
d2798f |
the vq element back to the guest.
|
|
|
d2798f |
|
|
|
d2798f |
For the virtio-serial use case we don't want to lose data but for the
|
|
|
d2798f |
console case we better drop data instead of "killing" the guest
|
|
|
d2798f |
console. If we get chardev->frontend notification and a better behaving
|
|
|
d2798f |
virtio-console we can revert this fix.
