Subject: [PATCH qemu-traditional] qemu: Fix race condition when binding ports
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2013 13:10:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386594652-6953-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

Two Qemus can race to bind the same VNC port.  It is valid for multiple
listen()s on the same socket to succeed, but only the first bind() will
succeed.

In the case that two Qemus are racing, the second one will fail with an
EADDRINUSE, and bail with a fatal error which renders the domain functionally
useless.

In the case that bind() fails with EADDRINUSE, rebind the socket again and try
for the next port.
