[Qemu-devel] [PULL 38/58] sclpconsolelm: remove bogus check for -EAGAIN


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 38/58] sclpconsolelm: remove bogus check for -EAGAIN
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:16:09 +0200

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <address@hidden>

The write_console_data() method in sclpconsole-lm.c checks
whether the return value of qemu_chr_fe_write() has the
value of -EAGAIN and if so then increments the buffer offset
by the value of EAGAIN. Fortunately qemu_chr_fe_write() will
never return EAGAIN directly, rather it returns -1 with
errno set to EAGAIN, so this broken code path was not
reachable. The behaviour on EAGAIN was stil bad though,
causing the write_console_data() to busy_wait repeatedly
calling qemu_chr_fe_write() with no sleep between iters.

Just remove all this loop logic and replace with a call
to qemu_chr_fe_write_all().
