From d06d51e96773ab8295e31f666466fb2edb093aa0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 22:05:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] char: Throttle when host connection is down# When the host-side connection goes down, throttle the virtio-serial bus and later unthrottle when a connection gets established. This helps prevent any lost IO (guest->host) while the host connection was down. Bugzilla: 621484 This commit actually helps the bug mentioned above as no writes will now get lost because of the throttling done here. With just the patches sent earlier for that bug, one write will end up getting lost in the worst case (host d/c, guest write, host connect).
