Daniel P. Berrange	e48427051d	Add virFileLock and virFileUnlock APIs ... Add some simple wrappers around the fcntl() discretionary file locking capability. * src/util/util.c, src/util/util.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virFileLock and virFileUnlock APIs	2011-08-12 20:37:00 +01:00
Eric Blake	519a1c4379	save: add virFileDirectFd wrapper type ... O_DIRECT has stringent requirements. Rather than make lots of changes at each site that wants to use O_DIRECT, it is easier to offload the work through a helper process that mirrors the I/O between a pipe and the actual direct fd, so that the other end of the pipe no longer has to worry about constraints. Plus, if the kernel ever gains better posix_fadvise support, then we only have to touch a single file to let all callers benefit from a more efficient way to avoid file system caching. * src/util/virfile.h (virFileDirectFdFlag, virFileDirectFdNew) (virFileDirectFdClose, virFileDirectFdFree): New prototypes. * src/util/virdirect.c: Implement new wrapper object. * src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export new symbols. * cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add to list. * po/POTFILES.in: Add new translations.	2011-07-21 16:24:08 -06:00
Eric Blake	8e22e08935	build: rename files.h to virfile.h ... In preparation for a future patch adding new virFile APIs. * src/util/files.h, src/util/files.c: Move... * src/util/virfile.h, src/util/virfile.c: ...here, and rename functions to virFile prefix. Macro names are intentionally left alone. * *.c: All '#include "files.h"' uses changed. * src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Reflect rename. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_close): Likewise. * src/libvirt_private.syms: Likewise. * docs/hacking.html.in: Likewise. * HACKING: Regenerate.	2011-07-21 10:34:51 -06:00
