[libvirt PATCH] tests: fix deadlock in eventtest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a race deadlock in eventtest after the recent rewrite to drop
GNULIB from libvirt code base.

The issue happens when the callbacks testPipeReader() or testTimer()
are called before waitEvents() starts waiting on `eventThreadCond`.
It will never happen because the callbacks are already done and there
is nothing that will signal the condition again.
