Originaly, the code checked if another client is the queue and infered ownership of the buck from that. Commit fa9595003d043df9f2efe95521c008 added a separate variable to track the buck. That caused, that a new call might enter claiming it has the buck, while another thread was signalled to take the buck. This ends in two threads claiming they hold the buck and entering poll(). This happens due to a race on waking up threads on the client lock mutex. This caused multi-threaded clients to hang, most prominently visible and reproducible on python based clients, like virt-manager. This patch causes threads, that have been signalled to take the buck to re-check if buck is held by another thread.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
