[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 0/2] Enable passing pre-opened chardev socket FDs

[Daniel P. Berrange]

This fixes a long standing problem that libvirt has with starting up QEMU.

We have to busy-wait retrying connect() on the QMP monitor socket until QEMU
finally creates & listens on it, but at same time must be careful to not wait
forever if QEMU exits.

This this patch series, libvirt can simply pass in a pre-opened UNIX domain
socket file descriptor, which it can immediately connect to with no busy-wait.

Daniel P. Berrange (2):
  io: move fd_is_socket() into common sockets code
  char: allow passing pre-opened socket file descriptor at startup
