From 96f97a83910cdb9d89d127c5ee523f8fc040a804 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:23:21 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: return -ENODEV on all read operations after unplug If a port gets unplugged while a user is blocked on read(), -ENODEV is returned. However, subsequent read()s returned 0, indicating there's no host-side connection (but not indicating the device went away). This also happened when a port was unplugged and the user didn't have any blocking operation pending. If the user didn't monitor the SIGIO signal, they won't have a chance to find out if the port went away. Fix by returning -ENODEV on all read()s after the port gets unplugged. write() already behaves this way.
