[Qemu-devel] [PULL 10/15] qmp: dump-guest-memory: don't spin if non-blocking fd would block

[Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>]

fd_write_vmcore() will indefinitely spin for a non-blocking
file-descriptor that would block. However, if the fd is non-blocking,
how does it make sense to spin?

Change this behavior to return an error instead.

Note that this can only happen with an fd provided by a management
application. The fd opened internally by dump-guest-memory is blocking.

While there, also fix 'writen_size' variable name.
