We call qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers() in colo-compare thread, it is used
to detach watched fd from default main context, so it has chance to
handle the same watched fd with main thread concurrently, which will
trigger an error report:
"qemu-char.c:918: io_watch_poll_finalize: Assertion `iwp->src ==
((void *)0)' failed."
Anyway to prevent fd from being handled by main thread before creating
colo thread? Using semaphore seems not elegant.
So how about calling qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() before
qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers() ?
Looks better, but I needs more information e.g how main thread can touch it?

Hmm, this happened quite occasionally, and we didn't catch the first place (backtrace) of removing fd from been watched, but from the codes logic, we found there should
be such possible cases:
tcp_chr_write (Or tcp_chr_read/tcp_chr_sync_read/chr_disconnect)
 ->tcp_chr_disconnect (Or char_socket_finalize)
    ->tcp_chr_free_connection
      -> remove_fd_in_watch(chr);

Anyway, it needs the protection from been freed twice.

Thanks,

Still a little bit confused. The question is how could main thread still call tcp_chr_write or other in the above case?

Thanks

Thanks
