[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] qdev: disassociate chardev from device on device exit

[Amit Shah]

When the device is going away (e.g., hot-unplug), an associated
chardev should be freed and made available for use for other devices.

An earlier hack did this for virtio serial ports, do it in a generic
way and remove the virtio-serial specific hack.

  qdev: Add a 'free' method to disassociate chardev from qdev device
  virtio-console: no need to remove char handlers explicitly

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] qdev: Add a 'free' method to disassociate chardev from qdev device

[Amit Shah]

When a device is removed, remove the association with a chardev, if any,
so that the chardev can be re-used later for other devices.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] virtio-console: no need to remove char handlers explicitly

[Amit Shah]

qdev is now equipped (thanks to the last commit) to disassociate
chardevs from the qdev devices on the devices going away.  So doing it
in the virtio-console driver is not necessary.

Since that was the only thing being done in the qdev exit method, drop
it entirely.

Commit message is correct, patch is not.  Updated patch coming soon..
