Can you think of any way to test this in the unit tests ? I can understand
if its too difficult but just curious if there's any viable option ?

The idea of unlock & relocking here, just so tcp_chr_disconnect can
also acquire locks, doesn't make me too happy. This is really an
anti-pattern to me.
I think we should rename the existing method to be
tcp_chr_disconnect_locked() and document that it must only
be called with the write lock held, and call that from
here.
Then introduce a new wrapper for all the other callers to
carry on using which does the locking
static void tcp_chr_disconnect(Chardev *chr)
{
qemu_mutex_lock(&chr->chr_write_lock);
tcp_chr_disconnect_locked(chr);
qemu_mutex_unlock(&chr->chr_write_lock);
}

Daniel
