[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] Use virFork() in __virExec(), virFileCreate() and virDirCreate()

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

 



For __virExec() this should be a semantic NOP. virFileCreate() and
virDirCreate() gain the code to reset the logging and properly deal
with the signal handling race condition.
