[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] argo: warn sendv() caller when ring is full

[Nicholas Tsirakis <niko.tsirakis@gmail.com>]

In its current state, if the destination ring is full, sendv()
will requeue the message and return the rc of pending_requeue(),
which will return 0 on success. This prevents the caller from
distinguishing the difference between a successful write and a
message that needs to be resent at a later time.

Instead, capture the -EAGAIN value returned from ringbuf_insert()
and *only* overwrite it if the rc of pending_requeue() is non-zero.
This allows the caller to make intelligent decisions on -EAGAIN and
still be alerted if the pending message fails to requeue.
