Define the basic framework lock manager plugins. The
basic plugin API for 3rd parties to implemented is
defined in
src/locking/lock_driver.h
This allows dlopen()able modules for alternative locking
schemes, however, we do not install the header. This
requires lock plugins to be in-tree allowing changing of
the lock manager plugin API in future.
The libvirt code for loading & calling into plugins
is in
src/locking/lock_manager.{c,h}
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add
VIR_FROM_LOCKING
* src/locking/lock_driver.h: API for lock driver plugins
to implement
* src/locking/lock_manager.c, src/locking/lock_manager.h:
Internal API for managing locking
* src/Makefile.am: Add locking code
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
