Well you can look how we do it in the ovirt-guest-agent. But we’re not reopening the unix domain socket - We’re basically on read failure just rescheduling the read - That causes no problems after migrations - it just continues
Our python code for that is here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-guest-agent/blob/master/ovirt-guest-agent/VirtIoChannel.py
