From 6e7f6b82c60afb46ff71c2127421c66207966d6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2018 15:39:14 +1000 Subject: tty: hvc: hvc_poll() fix read loop hang Commit ec97eaad1383 ("tty: hvc: hvc_poll() break hv read loop") causes the virtio console to hang at times (e.g., if you paste a bunch of characters to it. The reason is that get_chars must return 0 before we can be sure the driver will kick or poll input again, but this change only scheduled a poll if get_chars had returned a full count. Change this to poll on any > 0 count.
