From: Chris Wedgwood <[email protected]>
If UML wants to open an xterm channel and the xterm does not run properly (eg.
terminates soon after starting) we will get a hang (a comment added in the
patch explains why).
This avoids the most common cause for this and adds a comment (which long term
will go away with a rewrite of that code); the complete fix would be to catch
the xterm process dying, up(&data->sem), and -EIO all requests from that point
onwards.
That applies for some of the other channels too, so part of the code should
probably be abstracted a little and generalized.
