From 7808121b9a1e44ef12fecd49fa6c268f27a150fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel De Graaf Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 18:10:42 -0400 Subject: xenbus: avoid zero returns from read() It is possible to get a zero return from read() in instances where the queue is not empty but has no elements with data to deliver to the user. Since a zero return from read is an error indicator, resume waiting or return -EAGAIN (for a nonblocking fd) in this case.
