[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 15/17] virtio-serial: Apps should consume all data that guest sends out / Fix virtio api abuse

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

We cannot indicate to the guest how much data was consumed by an app for
out_bufs.  So we just have to assume the apps will consume all the data
that are handed over to them.

Fix the virtio api abuse in control_out() and handle_output().
