From ae9a0485ae52aea6c7773176a15228abaa5de680 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:57:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Make LXC controller use a private dbus connection & close it The LXC controller uses dbus to talk to systemd to create cgroups. This means that each LXC controller instance has a dbus connection. The DBus daemon is limited to 256 connections by default and we want to be able to run many 1000 of containers. While the dbus limit could be raised in the config files, it is simpler to make libvirt LXC controller close its dbus connection once everything is configured. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
