Hi Mentors and QEMU community, My name is Alberto, I am a computer engineering student from Mexico (UPIICSA). I want to participate in GSoC 2026 with QEMU.
I already installed Fedora 43 and I compiled QEMU from source successfully. I am studying the code right now. I know C and I am learning Rust because I want to help with the new components of the project. I saw this issue on GitLab: *"Writing a large amount of data to the virtio-serial chardev device causes the channel to become blocked"* issue #3251 <https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/3251>. I am very interested in this problem. I want to understand why vsc->have_data is causing a blockage. I think this is a good way for me to learn how QEMU works with devices. I have some questions: - Is someone working on this issue right now? - Can I try to solve this as a "test task" for my GSoC proposal? - Do you have any other small tasks or "Bite Sized" issues for a new student like me? I am very happy to learn and contribute to QEMU. Thank you for your time! Best regards, Alberto Hernandez Cardenas. (Nickname: betillo) GitLab: [email protected]
