[PATCH 3.16 227/366] virtio_console: reset on out of memory

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-14 16:03:03
Also in: lkml

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

commit 5c60300d68da32ca77f7f978039dc72bfc78b06b upstream.

When out of memory and we can't add ctrl vq buffers,
probe fails. Unfortunately the error handling is
out of spec: it calls del_vqs without bothering
to reset the device first.

To fix, call the full cleanup function in this case.
