When qemu_open is passed a filename of the "/dev/fdset/nnn"
format (where nnn is the fdset ID), an fd with matching access
mode flags will be searched for within the specified monitor
fd set.  If the fd is found, a dup of the fd will be returned
from qemu_open.

Each fd set has a reference count.  The purpose of the reference
count is to determine if an fd set contains file descriptors that
have open dup() references that have not yet been closed.  It is
incremented on qemu_open and decremented on qemu_close.  It is
not until the refcount is zero that file desriptors in an fd set
can be closed.  If an fd set has dup() references open, then we
must keep the other fds in the fd set open in case a reopen
of the file occurs that requires an fd with a different access
mode.

Am I reading this code right by stating that 'if there is no monitor, we
don't increment the refcount'?  How does a monitor reattach affect
things?  Or am I missing something fundamental about the cases when
'mon==NULL' will exist?


Yes you're reading this correctly.

I'm pretty sure that mon will only be NULL if QEMU is started without a
monitor.

If QEMU has a monitor, and libvirt disconnects it's connection to the
qemu monitor, then I believe mon will remain non-NULL.

I've verified this to be true and everything is working as expected.

If libvirt's connection to the monitor fd is closed, mon will remain non-NULL and the refcount will still be incremented/decremented on qemu_open()/qemu_close(). When libvirt reconnects, any fdsets that haven't been cleaned up will still be available. query-fdsets can be used to determine what's available.
