Re: Using virtEvents

Sorry to come back on this.

How are the different threads of the libvirt daemon separated ?
I understand that there are 2 separate threads running that are
forked. There are also 4 more that appear to be threads.
Is that correct ?

Now, the virEvents main polling loop is running in a forked thread,
it has no access to worker threads that where created through
virsh for example
Is that correct ?

Last, if a VM needs something to watch over the state of its
network devices, a separate thread needs to be created to do
that because the VMs libvirt daemon thread can't make use
of the virEvent functions without creating a new poll-loop thread ?

Hi all,

I'm trying to get libvirt to re-associate lost connections when a vepa connection
is lost due to a switch error, or lldpad restart.

My take was to use the virtEvent infrastructure to poll for messages on a netlink socket and then restart the association if the message indicates that a link came
back up.

I ran into a problem, that if I start the polling netlink event from the daemon thread I would get the file events an the netlink messages, but I cannot configure the event handler because the rpc client threads and the daemon do not share the
same address space.

Is there a way to get file events in the VMs setup code so I can register a callback at VM initialization time to receive netlink messages and restart association if needed ?
