Not exactly. I mean look at any code that waits with virDomainObjWait[Until]. That removed broadcast won't help them to finish waiting because the only action they take after awake is checking state variable. They don't for example send monitor commands in which case they would get "monitor closed" error and finishi waiting. > > The two qemu_hotplug.c examples are waiting for QEMU events related to > tray eject or device removal, but are limited in their duration.

We do have commands like qemu-monitor-command but they are targeted for devs/devops I guess.

Anyway before this patch we would get deadlock anyway so it won't get any worse if we don't add the check you suggest.

Autodestroy and destroy both first kill qemu and then try to acquire job. If async job is active then they just aquire destroy job immediately because async job let destroy run cuncurrently. If non async job is active then we get EOF first which after this patch let not async job finish and then destroy/autodestroy can proceed with stopping the domain. The removed broadcast just makes spurious wakeup of waiter I think. I would also like to discuss the alternative approach described just before patch diff stats. It looks more appopriate to me but we need a comment from Jiri I guess to follow it.
