sclpconsolelm: remove bogus check for -EAGAIN
The write_console_data() method in sclpconsole-lm.c checks whether the return value of qemu_chr_fe_write() has the value of -EAGAIN and if so then increments the buffer offset by the value of EAGAIN. Fortunately qemu_chr_fe_write() will never return EAGAIN directly, rather it returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN, so this broken code path was not reachable. The behaviour on EAGAIN was stil bad though, causing the write_console_data() to busy_wait repeatedly calling qemu_chr_fe_write() with no sleep between iters. Just remove all this loop logic and replace with a call to qemu_chr_fe_write_all(). Acked-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
