According to the PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard Protocol, the keyboard outupt buffer size
is 16 bytes. And the PS2_QUEUE_SIZE 256 was introduced in Qemu from the very
beginning.
When I started a redhat5.6 32bit guest, meanwhile tapped the keyboard as quickly as
possible, the screen would show me "i8042.c: No controller found". As a result,
I couldn't use the keyboard in the VNC client.
Previous discussion about the issue in maillist:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/43294/focus=47180
This patch has been tested on redhat5.6 32-bit/suse11sp3 64-bit guests.
More easy meathod to reproduce:
1.boot a guest with libvirt.
2.connect to VNC client.
3.as you see the BIOS, bootloader, Linux booting, run the follow simply shell script:
for((i=0;i<10000000;i++)) do virsh send-key redhat5.6 KEY_A; done
Actual results:
dmesg show "i8042.c: No controller found." And the keyboard is out of work.
