[Xen-devel] [XEN PATCH for-4.13 v2 6/6] libxl_qmp: Have a lock for QMP socket access



This patch workaround the fact that it's not possible to connect
multiple time to a single QMP socket. QEMU listen on the socket with
a backlog value of 1, which mean that on Linux when concurrent thread
call connect() on the socket, they get EAGAIN.

Background:
    This happens when attempting to create a guest with multiple
    pci devices passthrough, libxl creates one connection per device to
    attach and execute connect() on all at once before any single
    connection has finished.

To work around this, we use a new lock.

Error handling of connect() and lock() is a bit awkward as
libxl__ev_qmp_send() doesn't allow to call the callback synchronously.
So we setup a timer to have a callback that has been called
asynchronously. We use the _abs variant it does strictly less than
_rel, thus avoiding unnecessary code that could return an error
(unnecessary because we only need to have the callback been called
ASAP).
