Yonit Halperin 16b38ec84e red_worker.c: fix not sending all pending messages when the device is stopped
red_wait_outgoing_item only waits till the currently outgoing msg is
completely sent.
red_wait_outgoing_items does the same for multi-clients. handle_dev_stop erroneously called
red_wait_outgoing_items, instead of waiting till all the items in the
pipes are sent.
This waiting is necessary because after drawables are sent to the client, we release them from the
device. The device might have been stopped due to moving to the non-live
phase of migration. Accessing the device memory during this phase can lead
to inconsistencies.

Also, MSG_MIGRATE should be the last message sent to the client, before
MSG_MIGRATE_DATA. Due to this bug, msgs were marshalled and sent after
handle_dev_stop and after handle_dev_display_migrate which sometimes led
to the release of surfaces, and inserting MSG_DISPLAY_DESTROY_SURFACE
after MSG_MIGRATE.

This patch also removes the calls to red_wait_outgoing_items, from
dev_flush_surfaces. They were unnecessary.

   SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
   =============================================================

SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Installation
------------

The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
  make
  sudo make install

Or to install into a private user specific location

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
  make
  make install

The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE

    Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
    Celt           >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
    Pixman         >= 0.17.7
    OpenSSL
    libjpeg
    zlib
    Cyrus-SASL

The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality

    GE Gui         >= 0.6.0,  < 0.7.0   (GUI app support)
    OpenGL                              (GUI app support)
    Alsa                                (Linux support)
    XRandR         >= 1.2               (X11 support)
    Xinerama       >= 1.0               (X11 support)
    libcacard      >= 0.1.2             (Smartcard support)
    Slirp                               (Tunnelling support)

Communication
-------------

To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel

There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/

To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice

Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.

The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:

   http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
