I don't really like exposing the concept of the QEMU monitor in
the IO layer APIs. IMHO these ought to remain completely separate
subsystems from the API pov,


Agreed.


and we ought to fix this problem by
making monitor_cur() work better in the scenario required.


Would it make sense instead to resolve the fdstr into actual file
descriptor number in the context where monitor_cur() works and makes
sense, prior to passing it to the connection thread?


Yes, arguably the root problem is caused by the util/qemu-sockets.c
code directly referring to the current monitor. This has resultde in
the slightly strange scenario where we have two distinct semantics
for the 'fd' SocketAddressType

  @fd: decimal is for file descriptor number, otherwise a file descriptor name.
   Named file descriptors are permitted in monitor commands, in combination
   with the 'getfd' command. Decimal file descriptors are permitted at
   startup or other contexts where no monitor context is active.

Now these distinct semantics kinda make sense from the POV of the
management application, but we've let the dual semantics propagate
all the way down our I/O stack.

Folowing your idea, we could have  'socket_address_resolve_monitor_fd'
method which takes a 'SocketAddress' and returns a new 'SocketAddress'
with the real FD filled in.  We then call this method in any codepath
which is getting a 'SocketAddress' struct from the monitor.

The util/qemu-sockets.c code then only has to think about real FDs,
and the monitor_get_fd() call only occurs right at the top level.



Reasonable, I'll try this way

Hmm..

I can add thread_mon hash-table to monitor/monitor.c, so we can set monitor for 
current thread in same way like for coroutine. And monitor_cur will look first at 
coroutine->monitor hash map and then to thread->monitor. Then, I'll pass needed 
monitor link to my specific thread, and thread will call 
monitor_set_cur_for_thread(), an then qio_channel_socket_connect_sync() will work 
correctly.

David, Markus, is it OK?
