I'm trying to write an example serial console implementation in python

what I want. The console itself works fine as long as the domain
stays up, but as soon as the domain shuts down the python script goes
into a tight loop repeatedly calling the stream event callback.
Debugging indicates that the stream event callback is being requested
to be removed, but it never actually is removed which makes me think I
am not properly releasing some resource, but I was under the
impression that an error on a stream resulting in the stream aborting
was supposed to free all the resources for me. Is that not correct?
No where in your code do you ever invoke eventRemoveCallback.
When the stream is "aborted" this just means that libvirtd
has released server side resource& reported the error back
to the client. You still have to remove your event callbacks
otherwise you'll just be invoked forever. See tools/console.c
for example code doing what you're attempting, but in C.
In particular the places which call virConsoleShutdown.
Your code in Python should basically be a straight conversion
of tools/console.c from C into Python.
Thanks, that was the problem; calling remove fixed it.
What I'm trying to do is to write a console that does not exit when
the domain is down, and the code is now working, at least for a short
while. However, I am seeing a strange behavior. After the domain has
been powered off twice--regardless of whether the domain was started
or stopped when the console program is started--when starting the
domain the next time the console hangs and no callbacks are called. I
attached to the process with gdb and the backtraces are very different
when the process is responsive vs. when it is ok.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?
So, after your patches which have greatly improved the console
behavior, I find that I'm back to this hang, which by its nature I
can't reproduce with virsh console, as it only appears when I've
shutdown and started a domain several times within the same
connection. The hang is 100% reproducible. Per our IRC conversation,
I'm attaching the RPC logs, as well as the python code for reference
and a backtrace of the python process at the time that it was hung.

I can produce the problem, so I did an research on this.
According to the libvirtd log, it hangs because when the
domain boot up at the second time,
the libvirtd send a message to python scripts due to the
lifecycle_callback setting, meanwhile
setting the socket fd of the client to "mode=0", that means
neither readable or writable on the
libvirtd side.
So when the python scripts got the lifecycle event and trys to
call virDomainGetState() in
the command of openning console, after it sent the message to
libvirtd, it hanged and never get
the response.
