[PATCH] storage: Remove rwlocks during virStoragePoolObjListForEach

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

 



Remove the locks since they are unnecessary and would cause
a hang for a driver reload/restart when a transient pool was
previously active as a result of the call:

virStoragePoolUpdateInactive:
...
    if (!virStoragePoolObjGetConfigFile(obj)) {
        virStoragePoolObjRemove(driver->pools, obj);
...

stack trace:

Thread 17 (Thread 0x7fffcc574700 (LWP 12465)):
