[PATCH 0/6] virtio-console: spec compliance fixes

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Fri Apr 20 2018 - 14:18:06 EST


Turns out virtio console tries to take a buffer out of an active vq.
Works by sheer luck, and is explicitly forbidden by spec. And while
going over it I saw that error handling is also broken -
failure is easy to trigger if I force allocations to fail.

Lightly tested.

Michael S. Tsirkin (6):
virtio_console: don't tie bufs to a vq
virtio: add ability to iterate over vqs
virtio_console: free buffers after reset
virtio_console: drop custom control queue cleanup
virtio_console: move removal code
virtio_console: reset on out of memory
