Tsirkin" Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2018 21:00:13 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_console: reset on out of memory When out of memory and we can't add ctrl vq buffers, probe fails. Unfortunately the error handling is out of spec: it calls del_vqs without bothering to reset the device first. To fix, call the full cleanup function in this case.
