From 56ae43dfe233323683248a5c553bad7160db2fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 11:24:23 +1000 Subject: Example launcher handle guests not being ready for input We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no input buffers. This patch changes that, so that we simply stop listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers. This is particularly important because hvc_console without interrupts does backoff polling and so often lose characters if we discard.
