Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] qtest: fix a "!chr->fd_in_tag" assertion error in qtest.

[Gal Hammer <ghammer@redhat.com>]

Hi,

After reading the code again. It make sense to leave the call to remove_fd_in_watch() because I changed the code so the chr_update_read_handler function is called only when the front end is opened.

Submitting a new version of the patch.

It used to be like that (see patch 1/2 for the change). However, I 
removed it after I saw that the function remove_fd_in_watch() is always 
called when setting all the handlers to NULL (qemu-char.c +3872) so a 
second call in every chr_update_read_handler callback seems redundant.

As far as I can tell only the qtest change the read handlers and not 
using the default ones.
