The varlink_collect_full function did not set varlink client's state when the reply was an error. The state was stuck in "collecting-reply". I discovered that while hacking on network varlink interface (adding a new varlink method). The debug logs shows the process of performing the first query which replies with an error: varlink: Setting state idle-client network: Sending message: {"method":"io.systemd.Network.LLDPNeighbors","parameters":{"ifindex":1},"more":true} network: Changing state idle-client → collecting network: Received message: {"error":"org.varlink.service.MethodNotFound","parameters":{"method":"io.systemd.Network.LLDPNeighbors"}} network: Changing state collecting → collecting-reply Now another varlink_collect call is being made, but network: Connection busy. Failed to execute varlink call: Device or resource busy This was not caught by the tests because there were no varlink_collect calls that resulted in error reply.
