[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.5 v4 1/4] vhost-user-test: fix chardriver race

[marcandre.lureau@redhat.com]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

vhost-user-tests uses a helper thread to dispatch the vhost-user servers
sources. However the CharDriverState is not thread-safe. Therefore, when
it's given to the thread, it shouldn't be manipulated concurrently.

We dispatch cleaning the server in an idle source. By the end of the
test, we ensure not to leave anything behind by joining the thread and
finishing the sources dispatch.
