    gdbus: Add workaround for deadlocks when cancelling jobs · 2ee9624f
    Ondrej Holy authored
    GVfs calls gvfs_dbus_daemon_proxy_new() in cancelled signal handler which
    internally needs CONNECTION_LOCK(connection). The lock can be unfortunately
    held by gdbus worker thread which can call g_cancellable_disconnect(). This
    obviously leads to deadlocks. I don't see any reason why we have to block
    g_cancellable_disconnect() because of gvfs_dbus_daemon_proxy_new() resp.
    gvfs_dbus_daemon_call_cancel(). Let's call it over idle source to not block
    the cancelled signal handler in order to prevent the deadlocks.
    
    It would be better to fix this issue directly in gdbus codes, however, it
    is not fully clear to me, what is a proper way to fix this.
