Yep, I since filed a bug https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/303 The problem is that poll handles bad file descriptors by setting the event POLLNVAL. ie poll() syscall succeeds. With the glib BROKEN_POLL macro set, it emulates poll() using select() and with bad file descriptors that fails hard with EBADF. IOW, I suspect there's a latent bug hiding in libvirt tests (or real code) that is passing a bad FD to poll(), and we've been lucky that it was harmless with POLLNVAL, and now we're seeing the bug exposed. > So it looks like this was very intentional, and motivated by the > needs of QEMU of all projects... I wonder what they're doing > differently from us? Tracing the history back, poll() on macOS fails when used with FDs associated with a device node under /dev/*. Not likely something libvirt does, but certainly an issue for QEMU with tap devices.
