From b3dddb9e6ddab74327f5557c1a6640ea0f56ad1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 18:11:45 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: Make read() return -ENODEV on hot-unplug When a port is hot-unplugged while an app was blocked on a read() call, the call was unblocked but would not get an error returned. Return -ENODEV to ensure the app knows the port has gone away.
