[Qemu-devel] [PULL v2 1/1] qemu-char: ignore flow control if a PTY's slave is not connected

[Paolo Bonzini]

After commit f702e62 (serial: change retry logic to avoid concurrency,
2014-07-11), guest boot hangs if the backend is an unconnected PTY.

The reason is that PTYs do not support G_IO_HUP, and serial_xmit is
never called.  To fix this, simply invoke serial_xmit immediately
(via g_idle_source_new) when this happens.
