We return -EIO on device down but can not raise EPOLLOUT after it was
up. This may confuse user like vhost which expects tuntap to raise
EPOLLOUT to re-enable its TX routine after tuntap is down. This could
be easily reproduced by transmitting packets from VM while down and up
the tap device. Fixing this by set SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE on -EIO.

I'm no so sure what to do with this patch.

Like Michael says, this flag bit is only checks upon transmit which
may or may not happen after this point.  It doesn't seem to be
guaranteed.

The flag is checked in tun_chr_poll() as well.

Jason, can't we detect a link up transition and respond accordingly?
What do you think?


I think we've already tried to do this, in tun_net_open() we call write_space(). But the problem is the bit may not be set at that time.

A second thought is to set the bit in tun_chr_poll() instead of -EIO like:

Does this make more sense?

Thanks
