[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] vhost-vsock: report QMP event when set running

[Ning Bo]

If a program in host communicates with a vsock device in guest via
'vsock://', but the device is not ready, the 'connect' syscall will
block and then timeout after 2 second default.(the timeout is defined
in kernel: #define VSOCK_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (2 * HZ)).
We can avoid this case if qemu reports an event when the vsock is
ready and the program waits the event before connecting.

Report vsock running event so that the upper application can
control boot sequence.
