Bug #1036

Channel creation stops working and returns "Command error" without apparent reason after a few iterations of session/channel create+destroy

Description

Environment: Chroot on an ARM phone running Ubuntu Touch (15.04-based)

Tools:
lttng-ust 2.8.1 built from stable git branch
lttng-tools 2.8.0 built from stable git branch

My workflow is the following:
1) setup session and channel
lttng create
lttng enable-channel --userspace --num-subbuf 8 --subbuf-size 8M big-channel
lttng enable-event -ua --channel big-channel
lttng add-context -u -t vpid -t vtid -t procname -t ip
lttng start

2) run the app in a separate terminal

3) lttng stop + lttng destroy

4) Pull the trace, analyze etc

5) Rinse and repeat

What happens is that at one point (it seems when I wait more than a few minutes between the stop and the destroy commands)
the channel creation command starts failing.
The only way to fix it seem to be rebooting the device.

An example of sessiond log:

I made sure any session shown by lttng list was destroyed, so lttng list shows nothing
