Hi,
virt-viewer is using it's own virEventRegisterImpl. With current libvirt
this can deadlock when connection to nonexistant URIs like
qemu+ssh:///unknownhost.example.com/system
like:

Gdb displays the deadlock nicely:

which is the sock->lock:
virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback holds sock->lock
-> virEventRemoveHandle
-> impl_remove_handle
-> opaque->ff
-> virNetSocketEventFree want to hold sock->lock
Working around this by removing the locks from
virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback leads to another deadlock:

which is the virNetClient lock:
virNetClientClose holds client->lock
-> virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback
-> virEventRemoveHandle
-> impl_remove_handle
-> virNetSocketEventFree
-> virNetClientEventFree wants the lock
I didn't see a simple way to fix this but would welcome any suggestions.
Cheers,
