[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 6/7] char: Equip the unix/tcp backend to handle nonblocking writes

[Amit Shah]

Now that the infrastructure is in place to return -EAGAIN to callers,
individual char drivers can set their update_fd_handlers() function to
set or remove an fd's write handler.  This handler checks if the driver
became writable.

A generic callback routine is used for unblocking writes and letting
users of chardevs know that a driver became writable again.
