[PATCH v3 2/2] reserve: Fix leaking NameLost signals after release+acquire

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

 



From: Mikel Astiz <mikel.astiz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The use of the pseudo-blocking D-Bus calls leads to the problem that
NameLost signals are received after the reply to ReleaseName().

The problem with this is that a later acquisition of the same audio
device can potentially receive the NameLost signal corresponding to
the previous instance, due to the fact that the signal hasn't been
popped from the D-Bus message queue.

The simplest approach to solve this problem is to poll the actual name
owner from the D-Bus daemon, in order to make sure that we did really
lose the name.

The proposal uses a blocking call to GetNameOwner to avoid incosistent
states in the internal APIs: it would otherwise be possible to have a
"busy" device before the reservation has been lost, in the unlikely
case if some other process acquires the name before we got the
confirmation that the NameLost was actually true.
