[PATCHv2 3/3] command: add virCommandAbort for cleanup paths

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

 



Sometimes, an asynchronous helper is started (such as a compressor
or iohelper program), but a later error means that we want to
abort that child.  Make this easier.

Note that since daemons and virCommandRunAsync can't mix, the only
time virCommandFree can reap a process is if someone did
virCommandRunAsync for a non-daemon and didn't stash the pid.

* src/util/command.h (virCommandAbort): New prototype.
* src/util/command.c (_virCommand): Add new field.
(virCommandRunAsync, virCommandWait): Track whether pid was used.
(virCommandFree): Reap child if caller did not request pid.
(virCommandAbort): New function.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (command.h): Export it.
* tests/commandtest.c (test19): New test.

v2: no change, but by adding patch 2, it should make it clear
that this patch is doing the right thing about not reaping
a long-running daemon.
