Fix unwanted closing of libvirt client connection
e5a1bee07
introduced a regression in Boxes: when Boxes is left idle (it's still doing some libvirt calls in the background), the libvirt connection gets closed after a few minutes. What happens is that this code in virNetClientIOHandleOutput gets triggered: if (!thecall) return -1; /* Shouldn't happen, but you never know... */ and after the changes ine5a1bee07
, this causes the libvirt connection to be closed. Upon further investigation, what happens is that virNetClientIOHandleOutput is called from gvir_event_handle_dispatch in libvirt-glib, which is triggered because the client fd became writable. However, between the times gvir_event_handle_dispatch is called, and the time the client lock is grabbed and virNetClientIOHandleOutput is called, another thread runs and completes the current call. 'thecall' is then NULL when the first thread gets to run virNetClientIOHandleOutput. After describing this situation on IRC, danpb suggested this: 11:37 < danpb> In that case I think the correct thing would be to change 'return -1' above to 'return 0' since that's not actually an error - its a rare, but expected event which is what this patch is doing. I've tested it against master libvirt, and I didn't get disconnected in ~10 minutes while this happens in less than 5 minutes without this patch.
