[Qemu-devel] [Bug 932539] Re: qemu exits with -11 when connecting to a port redirect before the service starts listening

[Serge Hallyn]

I was thinking 1ab74cea060d776b19857c3babc64d729bbdba5c might have
introduced it, but at that commit it doesn't happen.

Title:
  qemu exits with -11 when connecting to a port redirect before the
  service starts listening

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This was detected initially as a crash in the auto upgrade tester.
  The code of the upgrade tester basically spawns a kvm instance in the 
background with a port redirect from localhost:54322 to tcp:22 in the VM, then 
wait for that port to allow for a ssh connection before continuing the upgrade 
testing.

  In the past (Oneiric), all worked well but since Precise, we now get
  qemu exitting with -11 at every single test :(

  A quick reproducer is:
   - start a VM that has openssh-server installed with: -net 
user,hostfwd=tcp::54322-:22
   - immediately start "ssh -p 54322 127.0.0.1" before the VM starts booting 
(BIOS/GRUB state)

  Then wait for sshd to start in the VM and qemu will exit with -11.
