terminal3270 is uses the front-end side of the chardev. It shouldn't
create sources from backend side context. Fwiw, send_timing_mark_cb
calls qemu_chr_fe_write_all() which should be thread safe.

This partially reverts changes from commit
2c716ba1506769c9be2caa02f0f6d6e7c00f4304.

I don't fully understand too on why "It shouldn't create sources from
backend side context".  Could you explain a bit?

If you don't want the backend gcontext to be exposed to the frontend,
IMHO the simplest thing is just to use the NULL gcontext in
qemu_chr_timeout_add_ms() which is a one-liner change. I don't see
much point on re-using the GSource tags since IMHO GSource pointer is
always superior to the old tag system.

A frontend shouldn't use a backend function, and doesn't have to use
the backend gmaincontext.

Using the tag or the GSource * doesn't change much afaik. Not only
this is not a hot path, but glib gmain code does create the tag on
attach anyway. You may be marginally faster on remove/detach by
avoiding one lookup.

(btw, I think both tag and GSource* are as old)

I did some convertions in the past year to convert tag -> GSource and
that shows some differences when we want non-default gcontexts...
Otherwise I won't bother. :)

I am not strong on this, but my rule is that if I don't have explicit
reason to change a code I keep it there.  Here I don't see an obvious
reason to switch back to the tag things (not to mention that I still
think GSource is better, always).

It doesn't need a specific context here, does it?

As I explained, you shouldn't use backend fonctions in the frontend,
and there is no reason to use the backend context. I try to keep all
the sources created around chardev under control, and this one is
incorrect imho.

Using g_timeout_add() is convenient, since it does all the work you do
manually by creating a source, setting callback, attaching, unref etc.
And it uses the default context, which is in general the right thing.

I can do all the manual work and keep the GSource* around, but I don't
think that helps in any way here.
