The commit a7a69ec0d8e4 ("virtio_console: free buffers after reset")
deffered detaching of unused buffer to virtio device unplug time.
This causes unplug/replug of single port in virtio device with an
error "Error allocating inbufs\n". As we don't free the unused buffers
attached with the port. Re-plug the same port tries to allocate new
buffers in virtqueue and results in this error if queue is full.
This patch removes the unused buffers in vq's when we unplug the port.
This is the best we can do as we cannot call device_reset because virtio
device is still active. This was the working behaviour before the change
introduced in commit b3258ff1d6.

I think if you do this you need to add support
in the packed ring.

o.k. I will look at the implementation details for "support
of packed ring" for virtio_console. This will take some time.
Meanwhile "virtio_console" port hotplug/unplug is broken in upstream.
Can we accept this patch as it fixes the upstream and together
with parent patch(b3258ff1d6) does nice cleanups as well.
Thanks,
Pankaj

ping.
This patch fixes a regression in upstream kernel, virtio_console driver.
Can we please have this merged.

That's the basic issue, isn't it? Why aren't we
reusing buffers that are already there?

Sorry, no - I don't think we should fix one configuration by breaking the other.
If you want to go back, then that's a spec violation, but I guess we can
fix the spec to match. OK, but code-wise if you call
virtqueue_detach_unused_buf without device reset then you need to teach
packed ring code to support that.
