[v4] socket: allow wait=false for client socket

[libvirt] [PATCH v4] socket: allow wait=false for client socket

Posted by Marc-André Lureau 5 years, 7 months ago

Commit 767abe7 ("chardev: forbid 'wait' option with client sockets")
is a bit too strict. Current libvirt always set wait=false, and will
thus fail to add client chardev.

Make the code more permissive, allowing wait=false with client socket
chardevs. Deprecate usage of 'wait' with client sockets.

Fixes: 767abe7f49e8be14d29da5db3527817b5d696a52

IOW, this is a regression in 4.0 and so desirable to fix in rc4
to avoid breaking with existing libvirt.

Meanwhile libvirt should also be fixed to not pass 'wait' for
client sockets.
