[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] net/colo-compare.c: Fix a crash in COLO Primary.

[Lukas Straub]

From: Lukas Straub <address@hidden>
Because event_unhandled_count may be accessed concurrently, it needs
to be protected by taking the lock. However the assert is outside the
lock, probably causing it to read garbage and aborting Qemu erroneously.

The Bug only happens when running Qemu in COLO mode.

This Patch fixes the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1824622
