Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] check if console PTY is null before attempting to open

Console devices have their pty devices assigned when the qemu is actually started. The libvirt spends considerable amount of time to start the qemu if the guest has multiple passthrough devices. If time is spent during the hostdev preparation, someone attempts to open the console, the libvirt crashes in virChrdevLockFilePath().The patch attempts to fix the crash by adding a check before attempting to open.
