[PATCH] system/qtest.c: Allow for multiple CHR_EVENT_CLOSED events
Posted by Peter Maydell 1 month ago
In the qtest_event() QEMUChrEvent handler, we create a timer
and log OPENED on CHR_EVENT_OPENED, and we destroy the timer and
log CLOSED on CHR_EVENT_CLOSED. However, the chardev subsystem
can send us more than one CHR_EVENT_CLOSED if we're reading from
a file chardev:
 * the first one happens when we read the last data from the file
 * the second one happens when the user hits ^C to exit QEMU
   and the chardev is finalized: char_fd_finalize()

This causes us to call g_timer_elapsed() with a NULL timer
(which glib complains about) and print an extra CLOSED log line
with a zero timestamp:

[I +0.063829] CLOSED
qemu-system-aarch64: GLib: g_timer_elapsed: assertion 'timer != NULL' failed
[I +0.000000] CLOSED

Avoid this by ignoring a CHR_EVENT_CLOSED if we have already
processed one.
