Subject: [PATCH] drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_tile.c: properly return -EAGAIN
Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 13:11:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430845888-22164-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@ezchip.com> (raw)

We were returning zero if no bytes could be written to the Tilera
hypervisor console device, but this causes the output to be truncated.
By returning -EAGAIN the tty hvc driver will come back and try again,
which gives the semantics we want, and avoids dropping console output.

Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>

I have queued this in the tile tree as a tile-specific device, but
if someone would prefer to pick it up for a tty or tty/hvc tree,
that's fine too; just let me know.
