This fixes the build on 32bit systems which otherwise fails with:
virnetmessagetest.c: In function 'testMessageHeaderEncode':
virnetmessagetest.c:75:9: error: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument 7 has type 'long unsigned int' [-Werror=format]
Currently, we are allocating buffer for RPC messages statically.
This is not such pain when RPC limits are small. However, if we want
ever to increase those limits, we need to allocate buffer dynamically,
based on RPC message len (= the first 4 bytes). Therefore we will
decrease our mem usage in most cases and still be flexible enough in
corner cases.
Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:
List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'
Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
This provides a new struct that contains a buffer for the RPC
message header+payload, as well as a decoded copy of the message
header. There is an API for applying a XDR encoding & decoding
of the message headers and payloads. There are also APIs for
maintaining a simple FIFO queue of message instances.
Expected usage scenarios are:
To send a message
msg = virNetMessageNew()
...fill in msg->header fields..
virNetMessageEncodeHeader(msg)
...loook at msg->header fields to determine payload filter
virNetMessageEncodePayload(msg, xdrfilter, data)
...send msg->bufferLength worth of data from buffer
To receive a message
msg = virNetMessageNew()
...read VIR_NET_MESSAGE_LEN_MAX of data into buffer
virNetMessageDecodeLength(msg)
...read msg->bufferLength-msg->bufferOffset of data into buffer
virNetMessageDecodeHeader(msg)
...look at msg->header fields to determine payload filter
virNetMessageDecodePayload(msg, xdrfilter, data)
...run payload processor
* src/Makefile.am: Add to libvirt-net-rpc.la
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Internal
message handling API.
* testutils.c, testutils.h: Helper for printing binary differences
* virnetmessagetest.c: Validate all XDR encoding/decoding
