    GCancellable: Ensure it is always cancelled on connect callback · cdda03a6
    Marco Trevisan authored
    When a cancellable is cancelled when we call g_cancellable_connect we
    used to immediately call the provided callback, while this is fine we
    actually had race in case the cancellable was about to be reset or in
    the middle of a cancellation.
    
    In fact it could happen that when we released the mutex, another thread
    could reset the cancellable just before the callback is actually called
    and so leading to call it with g_cancellable_cancelled() == FALSE.
    
    So to handle this, make disconnect and reset function to wait for
    connection emission to finish, not to break their assumptions.
    
    This can be tested using some "brute-force" tests where multiple threads
    are racing to connect and disconnect while others are cancelling and
    resetting a cancellable, ensuring that all works as we expect.
