Previously, if you created a GUnixInputStream or GUnixOutputStream
from a non-blocking file descriptor, it might sometimes return
G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK from g_input_stream_read/g_output_stream_write,
which is wrong. Fix that. (Use the GPollableInput/OutputStream methods
if you want non-blocking I/O.)
Also, add a test for this to gio/tests/unix-streams.
Also, fix the GError messages to say "Error reading from file

My previous fix for GNOME#662100 was incomplete: it seems that with some
timings, the stream can be closed with an async read in-flight. This
can make the read fail immediately with G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED instead of
becoming cancelled.
This happens reliably on an embedded device, and rarely on my laptop;
repeating the test 100 times in quick succession reliably reproduces
the bug on my laptop.
It seems as though what we really want is to ignore read errors, once
we've established that we want to close the connection anyway - this
means that after asking to close, you're immune to exit-on-close,
which seems like a good rule.
An additional subtlety is that continuing to read after we know we
want to close is still required, otherwise we'll never emit ::closed.

Strictly speaking, neither of the two uses that aren't under the lock
*needs* to be atomic, but it seems better to be obviously correct (and
we save another 4 bytes of struct).
One of these uses is in g_dbus_connection_is_closed(), any use of which
is inherently a race condition anyway.
The other is g_dbus_connection_flush_sync, which as far as I can tell
just needs a best-effort check, to not waste effort on a connection that
has been closed for a while (but I could be wrong).
I removed the check for the closed flag altogether in
g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply_unlocked, because it turns out
to be redundant with one in g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked,
which is called immediately after.
g_dbus_connection_close_sync held the lock to check the closed flag,
which is no longer needed.
As far as I can tell, the only reason why the lock is still desirable
when setting the closed flag is so that remove_match_rule can't fail
by racing with close notification from the worker thread - but
on_worker_closed needs to hold the lock anyway, to deal with other
data structures, so there's no point in trying to eliminate the
requirement to hold the lock.

This isn't strictly necessary, because in every location where it's

it's indistinguishable from the reading thread having been scheduled

As part of the deserialisation process of a zero-length array in the

the expectation of failing (as can be seen by the assert immediately
following).
It passes &local_error to this always-failing call and then fails to

Also document which fields require such a check in order to have correct
threading semantics.
This usage doesn't matches the GInitable documentation, which suggests
use of a GError - but using an uninitialized GDBusConnection is
programming error, and not usefully recoverable. (The GInitable
documentation may have been a mistake - GNOME#662208.) Also, not all of
the places where we need it can raise a GError.
The check serves a dual purpose: it turns a non-deterministic crash into
a deterministic critical warning, and is also a memory barrier for
thread-safety. All of these functions dereference or return fields that
are meant to be protected by FLAG_INITIALIZED, so they could crash or
return an undefined value to their caller without this, if called from a
thread that isn't the one that called initable_init() (although I can't
think of any way to do that without encountering a memory barrier,
undefined behaviour, or a race condition that leads to undefined
behaviour if the non-initializing thread wins the race).
One exception is that initable_init() itself makes a synchronous call.
We deal with that by passing new internal flags up the call stack, to
reassure g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked() that it can go ahead.

The comment implied that even failed initialization would set
is_initialized = TRUE, but this wasn't the case - failed initialization
would only set initialization_error, and it was necessary to check both.
It turns out the documented semantics are nicer than the implemented
semantics, since this lets us use atomic operations, which are also
memory barriers, to avoid needing separate memory barriers or locks
for initialization_error (and other members that are read-only after
construction).
I expect to need more than one atomically-accessed flag to fix thread
safety, so instead of a minimal implementation I've turned is_initialized
into a flags word.

GDBusConnection sets the closed flag in the worker thread, then adds an
idle callback (which refs the Connection) to signal this in the main
thread. The tests session_bus_down doesn't spin the mainloop, so the
"closed" signal will always fire if iterating the mainloop later (and
drops the ref when doing so). But _is_closed can return TRUE even before
signalling this, in which case the "closed" signal isn't fired and the
ref isn't dropped, causing the test to fail.
Instead simply always wait for the closed signal, which is a good thing
to check anyway and ensures the ref is closed.

If the connection to the bus is lost while a method call is ongoing,
the method call does not get cancelled. Instead it just sits around
until it times out.
This is visible here on XO laptops when stopping the display manager

BZ #659528
In registration_data_export_interface(), the object_path is obtained using:
object_path = g_dbus_object_get_object_path (G_DBUS_OBJECT (data->object));
But when exporting an object uniquely, the object_path is not assigned
to the GDBusObject until after all the interfaces are exported.
Therefore, registration_data_export_interface() is trying to export
the interface on the non-unique object path, which can lead to
run-time errors if an object already exists on that path.
Instead, registration_data_export_interface() should be passed the
object_path explicitly, as is done in

Also assert that it takes the expected value whenever we change it,

This new glib__private__() API exports a hidden vtable, and adds a macro
GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL() that makes it generally convenient to use.
This adds an extremely tiny cost for the double indirection; but it has

1) compile the code into both glib and gio (like GWakeup), with the
