All args except "cmd" in the call to virExec are now redundant, since
they can all be found in cmd, so remove the args and reference the
data directly in cmd. One exception to this is that "infd" was being
modified within virExec, and modifying the original in cmd caused make
check failures, so cmd->infd is copied to a local, and the local is
used during virExec().
virExecWithHook is only called from one place, so it always has the
same "hook" function (virHookCommand), and the data sent to that
function is always a virCommandPtr, so eliminate the function and
generic data from the arglist, and replace it with "virCommandPtr
cmd". The call to (hook)(data) is replaced with
"virHookCommand(cmd)". Finally, virExecWithHook is renamed to virExec.
Indentation has been updated only for code that will remain after the
next patch, which will remove all other args to virExec (since they
are now redundant, as they're all members of virCommandPtr).
Currently, if a command wants to do asynchronous IO, a callback
is registered in the libvirtd eventloop to handle writes and
reads. However, there's a race in virCommandWait. The eventloop
may already be executing the callback, while virCommandWait is
mangling internal state of virCommand. To deal with it, we need
to either introduce locking or spawn a separate thread where we
poll() on stdio from child. The former, however, requires to
unlock all mutexes held, as the event loop may execute other
callbacks which tries to lock one of the mutexes, deadlock and
thus never wake us up. So it's safer to spawn a separate thread.
Currently, if we want to feed stdin, or catch stdout or stderr of a
virCommand we have to use virCommandRun(). When using virCommandRunAsync()
we have to register FD handles by hand. This may lead to code duplication.
Hence, introduce an internal API, which does this automatically within
virCommandRunAsync(). The intended usage looks like this:
virCommandPtr cmd = virCommandNew*(...);
char *buf = NULL;
...
virCommandSetOutputBuffer(cmd, &buf);
virCommandDoAsyncIO(cmd);
if (virCommandRunAsync(cmd, NULL) < 0)
goto cleanup;
...
if (virCommandWait(cmd, NULL) < 0)
goto cleanup;
/* @buf now contains @cmd's stdout */
VIR_DEBUG("STDOUT: %s", NULLSTR(buf));
...
cleanup:
VIR_FREE(buf);
virCommandFree(cmd);
Note, that both stdout and stderr buffers may change until virCommandWait()
returns.
