This is a followup to
v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg03344.html
This series comes out of a discussion between myself & Yongji Xie in:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg01881.html
I eventually understood that the problem faced was that
tcp_chr_wait_connected was racing with the background connection attempt
previously started, causing two connections to be established. This
broke because some vhost user servers only allow a single connection.
After messing around with the code alot the final solution was in fact
very easy. We simply have to delay the first background connection
attempt until the main loop is running. It will then automatically
turn into a no-op if tcp_chr_wait_connected has been run. This is
dealt with in the last patch in this series
I believe this should solve the problem Yongji Xie faced, and thus not
require us to add support for "nowait" option with client sockets at
all. The reconnect=1 option effectively already implements nowait
semantics, and now plays nicely with tcp_chr_wait_connected.
In investigating this I found various other bugs that needed fixing and
identified some useful refactoring to simplify / clarify the code, hence
this very long series.
This series passes make check-unit & check-qtest (for x86_64 target).
I did a test with tests/vhost-user-bridge too, which was in fact already
broken for the same reason Yongji Xie found - it only accepts a single
connection. This series fixes use of reconnect=1 with vhost-user-bridge.
Changed in v2:
- Rewrite the way we synchronize in tcp_chr_wait_connected again
to cope with chardev+device hotplug scenario
- Add extensive unit test coverage
- Resolve conflicts with git master
