Hello,
This is a new iteration of the patches that implement virtio-serial. Changes
include:
* Adding support for port hot-add
* Creating ports at specific ids that can be bound to specific apps / usage
* Cleanups
This code still doesn't get rid of the support for assigning names
to ports but
We expose multiple char devices (ports) for simple communication
between the host userspace and guest.
This is mainly intended for obtaining information from the guest.
Sample offline usages can be: poking around in a guest to find out
the file systems used, applications installed, etc. Online
This interface presents a char device from which bits can be
sent and read.
Sample uses for such a device can be obtaining info from the
guest like the file systems used, apps installed, etc. for
offline usage and logged-in users, clipboard copy-paste, etc.
for online usage.

Calling skb_orphan like this should be forbidden. Apart from the
problems already raised, it is a sign that the driver is trying to
paper over a more serious issue of not cleaning up skb's timely.
Yes

Which particular devices do you have in mind?
