I don't think that separation is needed. The commit says "Check for
thread error more frequently". Every check comes from an action. In
majority of the cases the action is reporting an error. In some cases it
means setting a flag, a boolean that causes error to be reported later
in the process.

What do you mean? In case of thread error, threadErr is set to errno. So
we should do:
virReportSystemError(fdst->threadErr, ...);
instead of EBADF? Well, look for the very next patch.

Yes, technically. On the other hand, how strictly do we want to follow
the rules? ;-)

Well, if there's no fdst->thread then no one sets the threadErr. But
okay, for consistency purpose I can move this check.

This is slightly different. I mean, I can move the check, but this is
sort of a special API in sense that if the I/O thread exits and the msg
queue is empty we will signal EOF to the caller. The other three APIs do
change state of the stream - they change the position in the stream.
This is a query API and as such can be used to query "are we at EOF
yet?". That is the reason why this API doesn't fail on threadQuit,
rather than return EOF (in a specific way as described in
virStreamInData description).

Okay. I can be more verbose there.
