This is the part allowing to dynamically resize the debug log
buffer from it's default 64kB size. The buffer is now dynamically
allocated.
It adds a new API virLogSetBufferSize() which resizes the buffer
If passed a zero size, the buffer is deallocated and we do the small
optimization of not formatting messages which are not output anymore.
On the daemon side, it just adds a new option log_buffer_size to
libvirtd.conf and call virLogSetBufferSize() if needed
* src/util/logging.h src/util/logging.c src/libvirt_private.syms:
make buffer dynamic and add virLogSetBufferSize() internal API
* daemon/libvirtd.conf: document the new log_buffer_size option
* daemon/libvirtd.c: read and use the new log_buffer_size option
virLogEmergencyDumpAll() allows to dump the content of the
debug buffer from within a signal handler. It saves to all
log file or stderr if none is found
* src/util/logging.h src/util/logging.c: add the new API
and cleanup the old virLogDump code
* src/libvirt_private.syms: exports it as a private symbol
Done mechanically with:
$ git grep -l '\bDEBUG0\? *(' | xargs -L1 sed -i 's/\bDEBUG0\? *(/VIR_&/'
followed by manual deletion of qemudDebug in daemon/libvirtd.c, along
with a single 'make syntax-check' fallout in the same file, and the
actual deletion in src/util/logging.h.
* src/util/logging.h (DEBUG, DEBUG0): Delete.
* daemon/libvirtd.h (qemudDebug): Likewise.
* global: Change remaining clients over to VIR_DEBUG counterpart.
Ad pointed out by Dan Berrange:
So if some thread in libvirtd is currently executing a logging call,
while another thread calls virExec(), that other thread no longer
exists in the child, but its lock is never released. So when the
child then does virLogReset() it deadlocks.
The only way I see to address this, is for the parent process to call
virLogLock(), immediately before fork(), and then virLogUnlock()
afterwards in both parent & child. This will ensure that no other
thread
can be holding the lock across fork().
* src/util/logging.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: export virLogLock() and
virLogUnlock()
* src/util/util.c: lock just before forking and unlock just after - in
both parent and child.
When configuring logging settings, keep more information about the
output destination. Add accessors to retrieve the filter and output
settings in the original string form; this to be used to set up
environment for a child process that also logs.
* src/util/logging.[ch]: add virLogGetFilters and virLogGetOutputs
accessors and modify the internals (including virLogDefineOutput())
to save the data needed for the accessors
