[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/5] pvcalls-front: read all data before closing the connection

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When a connection is closing in_error is set to ENOTCONN. There could
still be outstanding data on the ring left by the backend. Before
closing the connection on the frontend side, drain the ring.
