Does something like this work instead? diff --git a/qemu-char.c b/qemu-char.c index b082bae..1ed6d49 100644 --- a/qemu-char.c +++ b/qemu-char.c @@ -465,6 +465,9 @@ static void mux_chr_update_read_handler(CharDriverState *chr) d->focus = d->mux_cnt; d->mux_cnt++; mux_chr_send_event(d, d->focus, CHR_EVENT_MUX_IN); + if (chr->opened) { + mux_chr_send_event(d, d->focus, CHR_EVENT_OPENED); + } } static CharDriverState *qemu_chr_open_mux(CharDriverState *drv) Paolo
