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