[Spice-devel] spice-server sometimes wrongly disconnects client

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

I've filed a bug to track $subject:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55726

I thought I had reported this before, but I could
not find any such report while searching, so this
might be a duplicate.

Details from the bugreport:
"When the agent inside the guest goes away (crash, or whatever) then the client will get notified of this, but the client may try to send agent data between the agent going away, and the client processing this message. Currently when we hit this race, spice-server prints: "ERROR: channel refused to allocate buffer." and then proceeds to disconnects the client. This is clearly wrong behavior. Better behavior would be for the server to drop the message (possibly with a warning) and let the client stick around."

Regards,

Hans
