[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] char: fix handling of QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BLOCK

[Daniel P. Berrange]

If io_channel_send_full gets QIO_CHANNEL_ERR_BLOCK it
and has already sent some of the data, it should return
that amount of data, not EAGAIN, as that would cause
the caller to re-try already sent data.

Unfortunately due to a previous rebase conflict resolution
error, the code for dealing with this was in the wrong
part of the conditional, and so mistakenly ran on other
I/O errors.

This be seen running

   qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio

and entering 'info mtree', when running on a slow console
(eg a slow remote ssh session). The monitor would get into
an indefinite loop writing the same data until it managed
to send it all without getting EAGAIN.
