[PATCH 2/3] virLXCProcessReadLogOutputData: Refill buffer after filtering out noise
The caller passes in a 1k buffer, which when debug logging is in use is
easily filled with debug messages only. Thus after the first pass which
is common if the controller process already terminated the buffer will
not contain the real error, but rather a truncated debug message,
which will result in an error such as:
error: internal error: guest failed to start: 2023-08-01 12:58:31.948+0000: 798195: i
instead of the proper error:
error: internal error: guest failed to start: Failure in libvirt_lxc startup: Failed to
create /home/rootfs/.oldroot: Permission denied
To fix the above retry the reading loop if the filtering function made
space in the buffer.
