Currently the virQEMUDriverPtr struct contains an wide variety of data with varying access needs. Move all the static config data into a dedicated virQEMUDriverConfigPtr object. The only locking requirement is to hold the driver lock, while obtaining an instance of virQEMUDriverConfigPtr. Once a reference is held on the config object, it can be used completely lockless since it is immutable. NB, not all APIs correctly hold the driver lock while getting a reference to the config object in this patch. This is safe for now since the config is never updated on the fly. Later patches will address this fully. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@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.
