[PATCH v2 3/9] interface: Alter virInterfaceObjListRemove processing

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

 



Current processing requires a "fire dance" unlocking the @obj,
adding an @obj ref, locking the @interfaces, and relocking @obj
in order to ensure proper lock ordering.

This can be avoided by changing virInterfaceObjListRemove to
take @name instead of @obj. Then, we can lock the @interfaces
list, look up the @obj by @name (like we do when adding), and
remove the @obj from the list. This removes the last reference
to the object effectively reaping it.

NB: Since prior to calling we remove the reference to the object
we cannot pass anything contained within the object (such as the
obj->def or obj->def->name) because it's possible that the object
could be reaped by two competing remove threads.
