[PATCH 0/8] (v4) virtio: console: Fixes, new way of discovering ports

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This version addresses comments by Gerd and Michael:
- instead of returning -EPIPE if host is not connected in the write
  case, just block the write if it's a blocking file and return -EAGAIN
  if it's non-blocking.

- Removes early_console_printk after the first console is found

- Adds early_put_chars fix by François Diakhaté. It still needs a
  sign-off by him.

Standard message: Since the ABI is being reworked, it's essential to
push this to 2.6.34 so that we're not left supporting the older
interface.
