reds_stream_free() may call the channel_event callback which is not
supposed to be callsed from worker thread context.  This patch moves
the reds_stream_free call for the display channel from the worker to
the dispatcher to fix this issue.

[ Note: not tested yet, against 0.8 branch, sending out for review &
        comments nevertheless ]

Looks good. I told Luiz that this would be harder to fix in spice-server,
and so I take it back - seems to be easier to fix in spice-server actually.

But still the possible problem of other users in qemu of monitor that don't
make sure to use the main thread remains.

Hi,
RED_WORKER_MESSAGE_DISPLAY_DISCONNECT is not the only place that 
triggers red_disconnect_channel (and as a result, 
reds_stream_free(dispatcher->stream)). red_disconnect_channel is called 
also when there is an error upon receive/send and also when timeouts 
related to the client occur (e.g., in flush_display_commands).

We probably better make the dispatcher bi-directional, i.e., not only 
push messages to the worker, but also listen.

Cheers,
Yonit.

Ok.

That sounds like a non-trivial thing.

What does the master branch here btw?  I had a brief look and saw that 
the code looks quite different here (probably due to the multiclient work).

cheers,

I verified it still calls reds_stream_free from the worker thread, only
now the call itself is done in red_channel.c (via red_channel_disconnect
or something like that), which is called from red_worker.c

Where the code in red_channel.c is now shared for all channel types? 
Hmm.  That makes it a bit harder to change the workflow I guess ...

cheers,

can do the usual (well, done once in hw/qxl.c) trick of

 if (pthread_id() == stored_thread_id_from_main_channel_creation) {
   write_to_pipe_read_in_main_thread
 } else {
   real_reds_stream_free();
 }

But just to be clear, I think it's better to fix this in monitor, like Daniel
suggested. Still waiting for Anthony to reply to his last email.
