[PATCH 00/14] Basic implementation of persistent reservations

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

 



QEMU added support for SCSI persistent reservations. The way QEMU
implemented that makes it slightly harder for libvirt to adapt to - it's
a small binary that needs to start before qemu so that it can connect to
it. Basically, what libvirt does is:

1) start qemu-pr-helper (the small binary from above),
2) records its PID for tracking purposes
3) start qemu

and when shutting down a domain the process is reversed:

1) shut down qemu process,
2) kill qemu-pr-helper (PID was saved earlier).

Now, here also lies the last missing piece to he puzzle - what if
qemu-pr-helper dies while qemu is running? After some discussion with
Paolo it was agreed that qemu will emit an event for libvirt so that we
can respawn the process. Anyway, that shouldn't be a show stopper for
these patches (if it was the patch set might get too big).

Please test, review and comment.

As usual, you can find the patches on my github too:
