[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] qtest: use synchronous I/O for char device

[Anthony Liguori]

Peter reported that rtc-test would periodically hang.  It turns out
this was due to an EAGAIN occurring on qemu_chr_fe_write.

Instead of heavily refactoring qtest, just use a synchronous version
of the write operation for qemu_chr_fe_write to address this problem.

   for (;;) {
       res = s->chr_write(s, buf + offset, len - offset);
       if (!(res == -1 && errno == EAGAIN)) {
           break;
       }
       g_usleep(100);
   }

would avoid the duplication of the retry condition.

I think adjust like following make code easier to read:

     while (offset < len) {
         res = s->chr_write(s, buf + offset, len - offset);
         if (res == -1 && errno == EAGAIN) {
                 g_usleep(100)
                 continue;
         }
         .....
     }

Replied to wrong email by accident, or applied ignoring
the review comments?

I interpreted your comment as a suggestion.  I'm not a fan of while
(true) loops so I left it as is.  Since it's a pretty important bug fix
(make check was failing), I tried to get it applied quickly.  I should
have responded to your mail before applying it though.
