[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] vnc: threaded server depends on io-thread

[Corentin Chary]

The threaded VNC servers messed up with QEMU fd handlers without
any kind of locking, and that can cause some nasty race conditions.

The IO-Thread provides appropriate locking primitives to avoid that.
This patch makes CONFIG_VNC_THREAD depends on CONFIG_IO_THREAD,
and add lock and unlock calls around the two faulty calls.

Thanks to Jan Kiszka for helping me solve this issue.

The previous patch was total crap, introduced race conditions,
and probably crashs on client disconnections.
