The RPC server classes are extended to allow FDs to be received
from clients with calls. There is not currently any way for a
procedure to pass FDs back to the client with replies
* daemon/remote.c, src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Change virNetMessageHeaderPtr
param to virNetMessagePtr in dispatcher impls
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c, src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.h:
Extend to support FD passing
If we send back an unknown program error for async messages,
we will confuse the client because they only expect replies
for method calls. Just log & drop any invalid async messages
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Don't send error for async messages
Commit 597fe3cee6 accidentally
introduced a deadlock when reporting an unknown RPC program.
The virNetServerDispatchNewMessage method is called with
the client locked, and must therefore not attempt to send
any RPC messages back to the client. Only once the incoming
message is passed off to the virNetServerHandleJob worker
is it safe to start sending messages back
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Delay checking for unknown RPC
program until in worker thread
This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
In case we add a new program in the future (we did that in the past and
we are going to do it again soon) current daemon will behave badly with
new client that wants to use the new program. Before the RPC rewrite we
used to just send an error reply to any request with unknown program.
With the RPC rewrite in 0.9.3 the daemon just closes the connection
through which such request was sent. This patch fixes this regression.
This patch introduces a internal RPC API "virNetServerClose", which
is standalone with "virNetServerFree". it closes all the socket fds,
and unlinks the unix socket paths, regardless of whether the socket
is still referenced or not.
This is to address regression bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725702
In virNetServerNew, Coverity didn't realize that srv->mdsnGroupName
can only be non-NULL if mdsnGroupName was non-NULL.
In virNetServerRun, Coverity didn't realize that the array is non-NULL
if the array count is non-zero.
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c (virNetServerNew): Use alternate pointer.
(virNetServerRun): Give coverity a hint.
Spotted by coverity. If pipe2 fails, then we attempt to close
uninitialized fds, which may result in a double-close.
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c (virNetServerSignalSetup): Initialize fds.
When an incoming RPC message is ready for processing,
virNetServerClientDispatchRead()
will invoke the 'dispatchFunc' callback. This is set to
virNetServerDispatchNewMessage
This function puts the message + client in a queue for processing by the thread
pool. The thread pool worker function is
virNetServerHandleJob
The first thing this does is acquire an extra reference on the 'client'.
Unfortunately, between the time the message+client are put on the thread pool
queue, and the time the worker runs, the client object may have had its last
reference removed.
We clearly need to add the reference to the client object before putting the
client on the processing queue
* src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c: Add a reference to the client when
invoking the dispatch function
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Don't acquire a reference to the client
when in the worker thread
If the virStateInitialize call fails we must shutdown libvirtd
since drivers will not be available. Just free'ing the virNetServer
is not sufficient, we must send a SIGTERM to ourselves so that
we interrupt the event loop and trigger a orderly shutdown
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Kill ourselves if state init fails
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Add some debugging to event loop
When replacing the default SEGV/ABORT/BUS signal handlers you
can't rely on the process being terminated after your custom
handler runs. It is neccessary to manually restore the default
handler and then re-raise the signal
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c: Restore default handler and raise
signal
Detected by Coverity. No real harm in leaving these, but fixing
them cuts down on the noise for future analysis.
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c (virNetServerAddService): Delete unused
entry.
* src/util/sysinfo.c (virSysinfoRead): Delete dead assignment to
base.
Allow RPC servers to advertise themselves using MDNS,
via Avahi
* src/rpc/virnetserver.c, src/rpc/virnetserver.h: Allow
registration of MDNS services via avahi
* src/rpc/virnetserverservice.c, src/rpc/virnetserverservice.h: Add
API to fetch the listen port number
* src/rpc/virnetsocket.c, src/rpc/virnetsocket.h: Add API to
fetch the local port number
* src/rpc/virnetservermdns.c, src/rpc/virnetservermdns.h: Represent
an MDNS advertisement
To facilitate creation of new daemons providing XDR RPC services,
pull a lot of the libvirtd daemon code into a set of reusable
objects.
* virNetServer: A server contains one or more services which
accept incoming clients. It maintains the list of active
clients. It has a list of RPC programs which can be used
by clients. When clients produce a complete RPC message,
the server passes this onto the corresponding program for
handling, and queues any response back with the client.
* virNetServerClient: Encapsulates a single client connection.
All I/O for the client is handled, reading & writing RPC
messages.
* virNetServerProgram: Handles processing and dispatch of
RPC method calls for a single RPC (program,version).
Multiple programs can be registered with the server.
* virNetServerService: Encapsulates socket(s) listening for
new connections. Each service listens on a single host/port,
but may have multiple sockets if on a dual IPv4/6 host.
Each new daemon now merely has to define the list of RPC procedures
& their handlers. It does not need to deal with any network related
functionality at all.
