[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/4] 9pfs: handle transport errors

[Greg Kurz]

The 9p protocol relies on a reliable transport, but the current code
treats transport errors (ie, failure to marshal or unmarshal) as if
they were coming from the backend. This doesn't make sense: if the
transport failed, we should notify the guest that the transport is
broken and needs to be reset, using transport specific means.

This series only modifies the virtio transport so that it can notify
the guest about transport failures.

Changes since v3:
- addressed comment from MST (patch 3)
