Thanks. This fix is Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger <[email protected]> Tested-by: Christian Borntraeger <[email protected]> I am a bit reluctant to Ack the whole change, since my preference would have been to not merge virtio serial/console and instead keeping both separate. We have already managed to clutter all other virtio drivers with tons of configuration stuff and feature bits - and every driver uses a different model for configuration and commands (feature bits, config space, config_change indication, extra config virtqueue, commands embedded into the data....). Using a different device ID for a different use seem like a better way to me. On the other hand, this patch allows more than one console (I have not tested this feature) and with this fix applied I dont see any obvious problems. For the console part I can give a Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger <[email protected]> (console) Ignoring my preference for having a separate driver and devids, I have no opinion about the generic communication stuff - no ack or nack. > --- > drivers/char/virtio_console.c | 8 ++++++++ > 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/char/virtio_console.c b/drivers/char/virtio_console.c > index 37513e8..598bc0d 100644 > --- a/drivers/char/virtio_console.c > +++ b/drivers/char/virtio_console.c > @@ -571,6 +571,14 @@ int init_port_console(struct virtio_console_port > *port) * The Host's telling us this port is a console port.
