cf6f8b9a97
In this patch I am extending and fixing the nwfilter module's reload support to stop all ongoing threads (for learning IP addresses of interfaces) and rebuild the filtering rules of all interfaces of all VMs when libvirt is started. Now libvirtd rebuilds the filters upon the SIGHUP signal and libvirtd restart. About the patch: The nwfilter functions require a virConnectPtr. Therefore I am opening a connection in qemudStartup, which later on needs to be closed outside where the driver lock is held since otherwise it ends up in a deadlock due to virConnectClose() trying to lock the driver as well. I have tested this now for a while with several machines running and needing the IP address learner thread(s). The rebuilding of the firewall rules seems to work fine following libvirtd restart or a SIGHUP. Also the termination of libvirtd worked fine.
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.
