Do you have test scripts used during development? Here's what I've gathered: Applications use add-fd to add file descriptors to fd sets. An fd set contains one or more file descriptors, each with different access modes (O_RDONLY, O_RDWR, O_WRONLY). File descriptors can be retrieved from the fd set and are matched by their access modes. This allows QEMU to reopen files with different access modes. File descriptors stay in their fd set until explicitly removed by the remove-fd command or when all monitor clients have disconnected. This ensures that file descriptors are not leaked after a monitor client crashes. Automatic removal on monitor close is postponed until all duped fds have been fd - this means QEMU can still reopen an in-use fd after a client disconnects. Does this sound right? Please do the QEMU coding style naming of MonFdset/MonFdsetFd mentioned in v6. Stefan -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
