Subject: virtio_console: Fix poll blocking even though there is data to read
|
|
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
|
|
|
|
I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was
|
|
seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even
|
|
though there were messages queued up there.
|
|
|
|
virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine if
|
|
read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from inbuf
|
|
through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf, port->inbuf
|
|
will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the virtqueue.
|
|
|
|
This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read, this patch
|
|
fixes this by using the alredy defined will_read_block utility function
|
|
instead of the port->inbuf != NULL check.
