[PATCH v8 3/3] virtio_console: Remove buffers from out_vq at port removal

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

 



From: Sjur Brændeland <sjur.brandeland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove buffers from the out-queue when a rproc_serial device
is removed. Rproc_serial communicates with remote processors
that may crash and leave buffers in the out-queue. But the
virtio_console device is not supposed to leave buffers in the
out-queue when a port is removed, so in this case throw a
warning.
