Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v4] qemu: Connect to guest agent iff needed

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293351 Since we already have virtio channel events, we know when guest agent within guest has (dis-)connected. Instead of us blindly connecting to a socket that no one is listening to, we can just follow what qemu-ga does. This has a nice benefit that we don't need to 'guest-ping' the agent just to timeout and find out nobody is listening. The way that this commit is implemented: - don't connect in qemuProcessStart directly, defer that to event callback (which already follows the agent). - after migration is settled, before we resume vCPUs, ask qemu whether somebody is listening on the socket and if so, connect to it.
