From 74ff582cd65ad01c45f1971feac28f23b7eb2687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:00:15 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: replace EMFILE with EBUSY for already-open port Returning EMFILE (process has too many open files) is incorrect to indicate a port is already open by another process. Use EBUSY for that. This does change what we report to userspace, but I believe userspace can look at it this way: it gets EBUSY, a new error code, instead of EMFILE. It's still an error, and that's not changing.
