For regular serial ports we do not initialize value of vtermno variable. A garbage value is assigned for non console ports. The value can be observed as a random integer with [1]. [1] vim /sys/kernel/debug/virtio-ports/vport*p* This patch initialize the value of vtermno for console serial ports to '1' and regular serial ports are initiaized to '0'. Reported-by: siliu at

This patch set if my first attempt to make virtio_console usable on s390. To do so, I had to change hvc_console, because s390 has no request_irq and no free_irq. I want to get feedback from the main users of hvc_console before I proceed. The basic idea of this patch set is to remove the calls to request_irq and free_irq and replace them with backend specific callbacks. Please see the

Hey Rusty, This series adds support for generic ports with each port getting two vqs: one for input and one for output. The host notifies us via the config space of the max. number of ports that can be added for a particular device. As a result of that change, the buffer management for find_readbufs and send_bufs is moved to the vqs. Only one outbuf per port is used so we bide away some time in

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov at fb.com> put_chars() stuffs the buffer it gets into an sg, but that buffer may be on the stack. This breaks with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y (for me, it manifested as printks getting turned into NUL bytes).

From: Francois Diakhate <fdiakh at gmail.com> Currently early_put_chars is not used by virtio_console because it can only be used once a port has been found, at which point it's too late because it is no longer needed. This patch should fix it. Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger at de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah at redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty

Hi all, As far as I can see, early_put_chars is not used by virtio_console because it checks whether there is a port available before using it. If I understand correctly, this makes it useless because once we have a port, we can use the regular virtio transport to output things to the console. Does the attached patch seem valid ? Feedback from s390 and powerpc users who use this functionality
