[PATCH 1/2] virCommandDoAsyncIO: Resolve race

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

 



With current implementation, virCommandWait unregister the stdio
callback and finish reading itself. However, the eventloop may
already have been in process of executing the callback in which
case one obtain these obscure error messages, like:

2013-02-06 11:41:43.766+0000: 19078: warning : virEventPollRemoveHandle:183 : Ignoring invalid remove watch -1
2013-02-06 11:41:43.766+0000: 19078: warning : virFileClose:65 : Tried to close invalid fd 25

The solution is to introduce a mutex and condition to virCommand,
and wait in virCommandWait for the eventloop to process all IOs.
This, however, requires all callees to unlock all mutexes held,
otherwise the eventloop may try to lock one of them and experience
deadlock. If that's the case, we will never be woken up to unlock
the problematic mutex.
