[PATCH v3] virtio_console: allocate inbufs in add_port() only if it is needed

When we hot unplug a virtserialport and then try to hot plug again,
it fails:

(qemu) chardev-add socket,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial0,server,nowait
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
(qemu) device_del serial0
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
kernel error:
  virtio-ports vport2p2: Error allocating inbufs
qemu error:
  virtio-serial-bus: Guest failure in adding port 2 for device \
                     virtio-serial0.0

This happens because buffers for the in_vq are allocated when the port is
added but are not released when the port is unplugged.

They are only released when virtconsole is removed (see a7a69ec0d8e4)

To avoid the problem and to be symmetric, we could allocate all the buffers
in init_vqs() as they are released in remove_vqs(), but it sounds like
a waste of memory.

Rather than that, this patch changes add_port() logic to ignore ENOSPC
error in fill_queue(), which means queue has already been filled.

    v3: add a comment about ENOSPC error
    v2: making fill_queue return int and testing return code for -ENOSPC

[PATCH v3] virtio_console: allocate inbufs in add_port() only if it is needed

Hi,

[This is an automated email]

This commit has been processed because it contains a "Fixes:" tag,
fixing commit: a7a69ec0d8e4 ("virtio_console: free buffers after
reset").

The bot has tested the following trees: v5.3.11, v4.19.84, v4.14.154, v4.9.201,
v4.4.201.

v5.3.11: Build OK!
v4.19.84: Build OK!
v4.14.154: Build OK!
v4.9.201: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
    5c60300d68da ("virtio_console: reset on out of memory")

v4.4.201: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
    5c60300d68da ("virtio_console: reset on out of memory")


NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream.

How should we proceed with this patch?

Thanks, however this has already been merged by Linus.
I can't add the tag retroactively, sorry about that.

For bugfix patches like that, I think we can reasonably
target a turn around of a couple of days, these
shouldn't really need to wait weeks for review.
