Frediano Ziglio 5d7ecb0162 Fix crash attempting to connect duplicate channels
You could easily trigger this issue using multiple monitors and a
modified spice-gtk client with this patch:

  --- a/src/channel-main.c
  +++ b/src/channel-main.c
  @@ -1699,6 +1699,7 @@ static gboolean _channel_new(channel_new_t *c)
   {
       g_return_val_if_fail(c != NULL, FALSE);

  +    if (c->type == SPICE_CHANNEL_DISPLAY) c->id = 0;
       spice_channel_new(c->session, c->type, c->id);

       g_object_unref(c->session);

which cause a crash like

(process:28742): Spice-WARNING **: Failed to create channel client: Client 0x40246f5d0: duplicate channel type 2 id 0
2017-08-24 09:36:57.451+0000: shutting down, reason=crashed

RedChannelClient is an GInitable type, which means that the object is
constructed, and then the _init() function is called, which can fail.
If the _init() fails, the newly-created object will be destroyed. As
part of _init(), we add a new watch for the stream using the core
interface that is associated with the channel. After adding the watch,
our rcc creation fails (due to duplicate ID), and the rcc object is
unreffed. This results in a call to reds_stream_free() (since the rcc
now owns the stream). But in reds_stream_free, we were trying to remove
the watch from the core interface associated with the RedsState. For
most channels, these two core interfaces are equivalent. But for the
Display and Cursor channels, it is the core Glib-based interface
associated with the RedWorker.

The watch in RedsStream by default is bound to the Qemu provided
SpiceCoreInterface while RedChannelClient bound it to Glib one causing
the crash when the watch is deleted from RedsStream. Change the bound
interface.

   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 dependencies are required in order to
build SPICE

    Spice protocol >= 0.12.13
    Pixman         >= 0.17.7
    OpenSSL
    libjpeg
    zlib

The following optional dependencies increase the available
functionality

    Cyrus-SASL
    libcacard      >= 0.1.2             (Smartcard support)
    Opus           >= 1.0.0             (Opus audio encoding support)
    LZ4                                 (LZ4 compression support)
    GStreamer      >= 1.0.0

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:

   https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
