[Spice-devel] RFC: vdagent-win and virtio-serial

[David Jaša]

Hi Arnon,

I've hit recently an issue with vdagent-win that after I performed fast
user switch, the agent or service kept crashing - probably because the
vdagent competed over non-shareable resource. I know it is a corner
case, but still - wouldn't move of virtio-serial communication to
per-user agent make such scenario unfixable?
