Currently, when there is an API that's blocking with locked domain and second API that's waiting in virDomainObjListFindByUUID() for the domain lock (with the domain list locked) no other API can be executed on any domain on the whole hypervisor because all would wait for the domain list to be locked. This patch adds new optional approach to this in which the domain is only ref'd (reference counter is incremented) instead of being locked and is locked *after* the list itself is unlocked. We might consider only ref'ing the domain in the future and leaving locking on particular APIs, but that's no tonight's fairy tale. Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
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.
