[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 17/17] virtio-serial: Implement flow control for


From: Amit Shah
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 17/17] virtio-serial: Implement flow control for individual ports
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:58:37 +0530

Individual ports can now signal to the virtio-serial core to stop
sending data if the ports cannot immediately handle new data.  When a
port later unthrottles, any data queued up in the virtqueue are sent to
the port.

Disable throttling once a port is closed (and we discard all the
unconsumed buffers in the vq).

The guest kernel can reclaim the buffers when it receives the port close
event or when a port is being removed. Ensure we free up the buffers
before we send out any events to the guest.
