Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] remote_daemon_stream: Hold an extra reference to stream in daemonStreamFilter

Yeah, your patch is perfectly fine for stream freed problem. But I have reviewed code in daemonStreamEvent() and daemonStreamFilter() again, and I think there still two issue need to be reconsidered: 1. stream->ref only ++ in daemonStreamFilter, except for error occurred call daemonRemoveClientStream() lead to ref--, like code as follow. Though code won't be executed because of no VIR_STREAM_EVENT_HANGUP event taken place, but it is not good code: /* If we got HANGUP, we need to only send an empty * packet so the client sees an EOF and cleans up */ if (!stream->closed && !stream->recvEOF && (events & VIR_STREAM_EVENT_HANGUP)) { virNetMessagePtr msg; events &= ~(VIR_STREAM_EVENT_HANGUP); stream->tx = false; stream->recvEOF = true; if (!(msg = virNetMessageNew(false))) { daemonRemoveClientStream(client, stream); virNetServerClientClose(client); goto cleanup; } msg->cb = daemonStreamMessageFinished; msg->opaque = stream; stream->refs++; if (virNetServerProgramSendStreamData(stream->prog, client, msg, stream->procedure, stream->serial, "", 0) < 0) { virNetMessageFree(msg); daemonRemoveClientStream(client, stream); virNetServerClientClose(client); goto cleanup; } } 2. call virNetServerClientClose() is still inappropriate in because the it may free the client resource which other threads need ref, may be replace it with virNetServerClientImmediateClose() is better, the daemon can process client resource release unified 3. Segmentfault may still exists when another thread call remoteClientCloseFunc in virNetServerClientClose()(for example, when new force console session break down existed console session, and existed console session 's client close the session simutaneously, but remoteClientCloseFunc not lock(priv->lock), so the resource maybe released when daemonStreamEvent ref) How do you see it?
