[PATCH 12/28] virtio: console: Buffer data that comes in from the host

2009-11-27 Thread Amit Shah
The console could be flooded with data from the host; handle this situation by buffering the data. We move from the per-port inbuf to a per-device queue of buffers, shared by all the ports for that device, ready to receive host data. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah --- drivers/char/virtio_console.c |
