Connection release is not correct in libvirt and libvrt java

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

 



Hi,

  The following is the current code to release connection in libvirt.

int

virConnectClose(virConnectPtr conn)

{

 

    if (!VIR_IS_CONNECT(conn)) {

        virLibConnError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_CONN, __FUNCTION__);

        goto error;

    }

error:

    virDispatchError(NULL);

    return ret;

}

 

Now if the cable is unplugged and the application call virConnectClose to release connection, the code will enter into the error procedure, the connection

Can’t be released. I have changed the following two parts to fix this issue. Please give your comments:

Changed Code1:

int

virConnectClose(virConnectPtr conn)

{

 

+    if(NULL == conn) {

+        return 0;

+    }

 

 

 

-    if (!VIR_IS_CONNECT(conn)) {

-        virLibConnError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_CONN, __FUNCTION__);

-        goto error;

-    }

 

error:

   virDispatchError(NULL);

    return ret;

}

 

Changed Code2:

int

virUnrefConnect(virConnectPtr conn) {

+    if(NULL == conn) {

+        return 0;

+    }

 

-    if ((!VIR_IS_CONNECT(conn))) {

-        virLibConnError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, _("no connection"));

-        return -1;

-    }

}

 

 

For libvirt java, there are similar issue. I have changed code as following in Collect.java. Please also give your comments.

    public int close() throws LibvirtException {

        int success = 0;

        if (VCP != null) {

+            try {

             success = libvirt.virConnectClose(VCP);

                processError();

+            }

+            finally {

                // If leave an invalid pointer dangling around JVM crashes and burns

                // if someone tries to call a method on us

                // We rely on the underlying libvirt error handling to detect that

                // it's called with a null virConnectPointer

                VCP = null;              

 +           }

        }

        return success;

}
