[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] spice-qemu-char.c: Remove intermediate buffer

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

From: Alon Levy <alevy@redhat.com>

virtio-serial's buffer is valid when it calls us, and we don't
access it otherwise: vmc_read is only called in response to wakeup,
or else we set datalen=0 and throttle. Then vmc_read is called back,
we return 0 (not accessing the buffer) and set the timer to unthrottle.

Also make datalen int and not ssize_t (to fit spice_chr_write signature).

HdG: Update to apply to spice-qemu-char with new gio-channel based
flowcontrol support.
