The QEMU integrates with the lock manager instructure in a number of key places * During startup, a lock is acquired in between the fork & exec * During startup, the libvirtd process acquires a lock before setting file labelling * During shutdown, the libvirtd process acquires a lock before restoring file labelling * During hotplug, unplug & media change the libvirtd process holds a lock while setting/restoring labels The main content lock is only ever held by the QEMU child process, or libvirtd during VM shutdown. The rest of the operations only require libvirtd to hold the metadata locks, relying on the active QEMU still holding the content lock. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug, src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug: Add config parameter for configuring lock managers * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Add calls to the lock manager
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.
