Currently, non-blocking calls are either sent immediately or discarded in case sending would block. This was implemented based on the assumption that the non-blocking keepalive call is not needed as there are other calls in the queue which would keep the connection alive. However, if those calls are no-reply calls (such as those carrying stream data), the remote party knows the connection is alive but since we don't get any reply from it, we think the connection is dead. This is most visible in tunnelled migration. If it happens to be longer than keepalive timeout (30s by default), it may be unexpectedly aborted because the connection is considered to be dead. With this patch, we only discard non-blocking calls when the last call with a thread is completed and thus there is no thread left to keep sending the remaining non-blocking calls.
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.
