What > do you think? Thanks. This is a timeout to restart, nothing to do with D-Bus timeout. D-Bus timeout is actually client side, default is 25 seconds, but management command timeout should kick in much faster than that. What I would do is to keep the existing logic adding the client to the list as soon as it attempt to start a discovery, but we store the msg into watch_client which will be used to reply once the request is complete and also can be used to checked if the client has an operation pending and in that case return busy. > On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 12:11 PM, Sonny Sasaka <sonnysasaka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi Luiz, >> >> On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 1:30 AM, Luiz Augusto von Dentz >> <luiz.dentz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 2:55 AM, <mcchou@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>>> From: Miao-chen Chou <mcchou@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >>>> >>>> There is a race condition where a start/stop discovery is requested before the >>>> previous stop/start discovery finish, and checking the adapter->discovery_list >>>> is insufficient to guard to race condition.
