Subject: [PATCH] target/riscv/kvm: use qemu_chr_fe_write_all() in SBI_EXT_DBCN_CONSOLE_WRITE_BYTE
Date: Thu,  5 Jun 2025 06:00:12 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250605090012.1268809-1-dbarboza@ventanamicro.com> (raw)

The SBI spec states, for console write byte:

"This is a blocking SBI call and it will only return after writing the
specified byte to the debug console. It will also return, with
SBI_ERR_FAILED, if there are I/O errors."

Being a blocker call will either succeed writing the byte or error out,
it's feasible to use the blocking qemu_chr_fe_write_all() instead of
qemu_chr_fe_write(). This is also how SBI_EXT_DBCN_CONSOLE_WRITE is
implemented, so we're also being more consistent.

Last but not the least, we will duck possible changes in
qemu_chr_fe_write() where ret = 0 will have a 'zero byte written'
semantic [1] - something that we're not ready to deal in this current
state.
