[Qemu-devel] [PULL 06/11] monitor: prevent inserting new monitors after cleanup

[Markus Armbruster]

From: Marc-André Lureau <address@hidden>

monitor_cleanup() is one of the last things main() calls before it
returns.  In the following patch, monitor_cleanup() will release the
monitor_lock during flushing. There may be pending commands to insert
new monitors, which would modify the mon_list during iteration, and
the clean-up could thus miss those new insertions.

Add a monitor_destroyed global to check if monitor_cleanup() has been
already called. In this case, don't insert the new monitor in the
list, but free it instead. A cleaner solution would involve the main
thread telling other threads to terminate, waiting for their
termination.
