When the remote client receives end of file on the stream
it never invokes the stream callback. Applications relying
on async event driven I/O will thus never see the EOF
condition on the stream
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c, src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c:
Ensure EOF is dispatched
If a streams error is raised, virNetClientIOEventLoop
returns 0, but an error is set. Check for this and
propagate it if present
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Propagate streams error
To facilitate creation of new clients using XDR RPC services,
pull alot of the remote driver code into a set of reusable
objects.
- virNetClient: Encapsulates a socket connection to a
remote RPC server. Handles all the network I/O for
reading/writing RPC messages. Delegates RPC encoding
and decoding to the registered programs
- virNetClientProgram: Handles processing and dispatch
of RPC messages for a single RPC (program,version).
A program can register to receive async events
from a client
- virNetClientStream: Handles generic I/O stream
integration to RPC layer
Each new client program now merely needs to define the list of
RPC procedures & events it wants and their handlers. It does
not need to deal with any of the network I/O functionality at
all.
