In the vhost-user-blk-test, as of now there is nothing stoping vhost-user-blk in QEMU writing to the socket right after forking off the storage daemon before it has a chance to come up properly, leaving the test hanging forever. This intermittently hanging test has caused QEMU automation failures reported multiple times on the mailing list [1].
This change makes the storage-daemon notify the vhost-user-blk-test that it is fully initialized and ready to handle client connections by creating a pidfile on initialiation. This ensures that the storage-daemon backend won't miss vhost-user messages and thereby resolves the hang.
