From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Otherwise there is a race where the DEVICE_DELETED event has been sent but attempts to reuse the ID will fail.
Note that similar races exist for other QemuOpts, which this patch does not attempt to fix. For example, if the device is a block device, then unplugging it also deletes its backend. However, this backend's get deleted in drive_info_del(), which is only called when properties are destroyed. Just like device_finalize(), drive_info_del() is called some time after DEVICE_DELETED is sent. A separate patch series has been sent to plug this other bug. Character devices also have yet to be fixed. Reported-by: Michael S.
