Since this patch: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/?id=c92ef6a22d3c71538fcc48fb61ad353f7ba03b62 guestfwd/vmchannel is now officially broken upstream. Fucking hell.
How exactly is it broken? Looks like it's 'just a bug', since the code is all still there AFAICS I'm guessing you're already working on reporting it upstream, though ?
Ah, I see the upstream report now, but can't link to it until the archives update. Subject is: [Qemu-devel] guestfwd option doesn't allow supplementary , server, nowait
At the moment I know that 'make check' fails after the first test. It just hangs there. Still investigating.
A patch was posted upstream which fixes this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-07/msg01753.html I'm going to open a new bug (against qemu) to get this patch incorporated.
