Subject: [PATCH v2] tap-win32: fix multiple tap support
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:42:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923-fix-win32-multiple-taps-v2-1-d497e5ac446f@gmail.com> (raw)

Currently when more than one tap is created on Windows, QEMU immediately
crashes with a null-deref since the code incorrectly uses a static global
for the tap state.

Instead, this patch allocates a structure for each tap at startup.

Signed-off-by: Gal Horowitz <galush.horowitz@gmail.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- Add cleanup of the structure fields
- Terminate the thread before freeing the structure
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20250920-fix-win32-multiple-taps-v1-1-bee41dcc213d@gmail.com
