[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/8] char: Let writers know how much data was written in case of errors

[Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>]

On writing errors, we just returned -1 even if some bytes were already
written out. Ensure we return the number of bytes written before we
return the error (on a subsequent call to qemu_chr_write()).
