    qemu-char: fix infinite recursion connecting to monitor pty · 3a3567d3
    James Hogan authored
    Since commit bd5c51ee
    
     (qemu-char: don't issue CHR_EVENT_OPEN in a BH), an
    infinite recursion occurs when putting the monitor on a pty (-monitor
    pty) and connecting a terminal to the slave port.
    
    This is because of the qemu_chr_be_event(s, CHR_EVENT_OPENED) added to
    qemu_chr_be_generic_open(). This event is captured by monitor_event()
    which prints a welcome message to the character device. The flush of
    that welcome message retriggers another open event in pty_chr_state()
    because it checks s->connected, but only sets it to 1 after calling
    qemu_chr_be_generic_open().
    
    I've fixed this by setting s->connected = 1 before the call to
    qemu_chr_be_generic_open() instead of after, so that the recursive
    pty_chr_state() doesn't call it again.
    
    An example snippet of repeating backtrace:
