Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for comment.
Yes, some messages might be lost, but it will be only happened after
unix domain socket is closed by vhost-user backend.
So I guess there is no side effect.
Anyway, I just want to know vhost-user disconnection, so other ways are
also nice.
Do you have any suggestions about how to implement?

Tetsuya
