similar to: [PATCH 4/4] virtio: disable multiport console support.

Hello, This series reworks the ABI to allow port discovery (only) via the control queue and enable multiport again. In addition, it adds support for non-blocking write() support, which means no spinning. This works fine with the recent patches that are on qemu-devel. Also included is removal of hvc_remove() as removing one such console port causes other console ports (registered with hvc) to

struct ports_device includes a config field including the whole virtio_console_config, but only max_nr_ports in there is ever updated or used. The rest is unused and in fact does not even mirror the device config. Drop everything except max_nr_ports, saving some memory. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Hey Rusty, These updated patches in the series return -EFAULT on copy_xx_user errors and also move the copy_from_user into fops_write() instead of it being in send_buf. This enables send_buf to just read from kernel buffers, making it simpler. This also allows write()s to write more to the host in one go, removingthe 4k limitation. I do limit the writes to 32k at once to not put too much

Pretty straight-forward, just use accessors for all fields. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Expose multiple char devices ("ports") for simple communication between the host userspace and guest. Sample offline usages can be: poking around in a guest to find out the file systems used, applications installed, etc. Online usages can be sharing of clipboard data between the guest and the host, sending information about logged-in users to the host, locking the screen or session when

The in-vq operations were protected by a lock, but the out-vq operations were not. This caused panics / errors as described in patch 2. Fix that. The first patch renames the existing cvq_lock to c_ivq_lock to match c_ivq. The second patch introduces the c_ovq_lock for the c_ovq. Please apply. I also believe this is a candidate for stable. v2: * Use spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irq.

I run latest sparse from git on virtio drivers (turns out the version I had was rather outdated). This patchset fixes a couple of bugs this uncovered, and adds some annotations to make it sparse-clean. In particular, endian-ness is often tricky, so this patchset enabled endian-ness checks for sparse builds. Michael S. Tsirkin (10): virtio_console: drop unused config fields drm/virtio: fix
