Commit Message

Daniel P. Berrangé March 18, 2024, 6:23 p.m. UTC
This commit results in unexpected termination of the TLS connection.
When 'fd_can_read' returns 0, the code goes on to pass a zero length
buffer to qio_channel_read. The TLS impl calls into gnutls_recv()
with this zero length buffer, at which point GNUTLS returns an error
GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST. This is treated as fatal by QEMU's TLS code
resulting in the connection being torn down by the chardev.

Simply skipping the qio_channel_read when the buffer length is zero
is also not satisfactory, as it results in a high CPU burn busy loop
massively slowing QEMU's functionality.

The proper solution is to avoid tcp_chr_read being called at all
unless the frontend is able to accept more data. This will be done
in a followup commit.

This reverts commit 1907f4d149c3589ade641423c6a33fd7598fa4d3.

Actually 462945cd22d2bcd233401ed3aa167d83a8e35b05 upstream.

Opps, yes, will fix this before I send a pull.
