[PATCH 2/6] virtio: console: Ensure no memleaks in case of unused buffers

flat view
STALE6082d

From: Amit Shah <hidden>
Date: 2010-02-12 05:02:15
Subsystem: char and misc drivers, the rest, virtio console driver · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds, Amit Shah

If unused data exists in in_vq, ensure we flush that first and then
detach unused buffers, which will ensure all buffers from the in_vq are
removed.

Also ensure we free the buffers after detaching them.
