Modify GetAllStats to generate a long enough pause in order to send a SIGTERM to libvirtd while a client connection is processing. In order to "set things up": 1. In one terminal window from a local branch built using these patches using a root account run libvirtd debug, e.g.: # ./run gdb daemon/libvirtd once running, type a 'c' (e.g. continue) and <return> 2. Start a domain (or have one running with the current libvirtd) virsh start $domain 3. Prepare a domstats command for that domain (but don't yet hit <return> in order run it): virsh domstats $domain 4. Prepare a kill command for the running libvirtd, e.g.: jferlan 4143 4107 0 09:51 pts/1 00:00:00 vim +1396 daemon/libvirtd.c root 30054 21195 6 11:17 pts/8 00:00:01 gdb /home/jferlan/git/libvirt.work/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd root 30087 30054 7 11:17 pts/8 00:00:01 /home/jferlan/git/libvirt.work/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd root 30385 19861 0 11:17 pts/17 00:00:00 grep --color=auto libvirtd but again don't hit <return> yet. 5. Align your stars perfectly now... a. Hit <return> on your domstats command b. Swap to the kill command window and hit <return> This should cause the libvirtd debug window to stop, but since you already typed 'c' it'll continue at least briefly, for example: ...

(gdb) quit The virsh domstats window will "close" as follows: error: Disconnected from qemu:///system due to end of file error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error If something's wrong, then the libvirtd window may not exit those final two threads in which case you could interrupt it (^c) and check the threads (thread apply all bt) which will probably show some sort of hang... My testing shows that the hang no longer occurs with all the previous patches applied. The subsequent patch calling virHashRemoveAll from virNetDaemonClose does not seem to be necessary, although I suppose it cannot hurt as the same essential functionality occurs during the Dispose function Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index 1de236cb5..0d0b03d86 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -20222,6 +20222,7 @@ qemuConnectGetAllDomainStats(virConnectPtr conn, bool enforce = !!(flags & VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS); int nstats = 0; size_t i; + size_t j, k = 0; int ret = -1; unsigned int privflags = 0; unsigned int domflags = 0; @@ -20259,6 +20260,10 @@ qemuConnectGetAllDomainStats(virConnectPtr conn, if (qemuDomainGetStatsNeedMonitor(stats)) privflags |= QEMU_DOMAIN_STATS_HAVE_JOB; + for (j = 0; j < 10000000000; j++) // Add one more zero for longer... + k = j + k; + VIR_WARN("k = %zd", k); + for (i = 0; i < nvms; i++) { virDomainStatsRecordPtr tmp = NULL; domflags = 0; -- 2.13.6 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
