[PATCH v2 0/4] Fix a couple of iothread bugs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



v1: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-October/msg00417.html

Differences since v1 - many.  

  - Reworked patches 1 & 2 to become patches 1 - 3 in the new series

  - Patch 1 is new, but the thinking behind patch 3 caused me to generate
    this patch which essentially changes comparisons with "->iothreads" to
    use "->niothreadids" instead except for one place where we're building
    the "iothreadids[]" array based on the difference between iothreads and
    niothreadids.

  - Patch 2 is essentially what former patch 1 became, adding a single
    check for niothreads == 0 rather than checking the capabilities bit.

  - The former patch 2 was dropped. In it's place is the new Patch 3 which
    moves the check for the capabilities bit to when the IOThread objects
    are added to the domain at startup time.  Making that change had a
    couple of side effects and the whole sordid history of how we got into
    this situation was left in the commit message. Due to moving the
    check one test started failing, so that was fixed and while I was
    at it - I added a test which would define iothreads, some iothreadids,
    and some iothreadpin to show that without the capability the failure
    will be at start time.

  - The former patch 3 was already pushed since it was ACK'd

  - The former patch 4 logic was adjusted (more or less) to what was
    requested during the review with a couple of tweaks based on the
    realities I found during testing.

NB: I spent some cycles considering how to handle the case where a
    domain with iothreads/niothreadids > 0 was already running when
    libvirtd was restarted and how to handle that. In the end I decided
    upon trying to do the somewhat nice thing and remove all traces
    and if some domain had iothreadid's defined, then leave a VIR_INFO
    message indicating the removal.  

    Without this change, then qemuDomainPinIOThread for the live code
    will need some kind of adjustment in order to handle the case where
    the capability doesn't exist (some sort of thread_id == 0 check right
    after the IOThreadIDFind succeeds).

  qemu: Use 'niothreadids' instead of 'iothreads'
  qemu: Check for niothreads == 0 in qemuSetupCgroupForIOThreads
  qemu: Fix qemu startup check for QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD
  conf: Optimize the iothreadid initialization
