Hi Elena, Jagannathan & John!

I noticed that the libvfio-user test-client-server test is recently hanging in the check-system-centos jobs in QEMU's gitlab-CI. Normally the test finishes within 20 minutes, see e.g. here:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/2928561403

(notice that test-client-server has number 252/274 here).

But in many recent runs, it seems to hang after number 251:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/2922743324
https://gitlab.com/thuth/qemu/-/jobs/2934299005
...

Could you please have a look? Also, why is the test not timing out after some minutes? ... completely blocking the CI job for the rest of the hour 'til the global 60 minutes timeout kicks in is not very nice :-(

Hi Thomas,

The following patch should fix it - it’s still under review:

[PATCH 0/1] Update vfio-user module to the latest

I’ll kick that thread to check the status of this patch.
