From 4add73aa601ab42b7a9863d483fa313b06105b34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 20:02:45 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: serial: expose a 'guest_writable' callback for users Users of virtio-serial may want to know when a port becomes writable. A port can stop accepting writes if the guest port is open but not being read from. In this case, data gets queued up in the virtqueue, and after the vq is full, writes to the port do not succeed. When the guest reads off a vq element, and adds a new one for the host to put data in, we can tell users the port is available for more writes, via the new ->guest_writable() callback.
