Subject: [PATCH 2/2]: powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix dropped console output
Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 17:51:36 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110706175136.2c00b292@kryten> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110705142844.GA2514@linux.vnet.ibm.com>


Return -EAGAIN when we get H_BUSY back from the hypervisor. This
makes the hvc console driver retry, avoiding dropped printks.
