[libvirt] [PATCH] blockjob: use stable disk string in job event

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Sat Jun 14 13:49:40 UTC 2014


When the block job event was first added, it was for block pull,
where the active layer of the disk remains the same name.  It was
also in a day where we only cared about local files, and so we
always had a canonical absolute file name.  But two things have
changed since then: we now have network disks, where determining
a single absolute string does not really make sense; and we have
two-phase jobs (copy and active commit) where the name of the
active layer changes between the first event (ready, on the old
name) and second (complete, on the pivoted name).

Adam Litke reported that having an unstable string between events
makes life harder for clients.  Furthermore, all of our API that
operate on a particular disk of a domain accept multiple strings:
not only the absolute name of the active layer, but also the
destination device name (such as 'vda').  As this latter name is
stable, even for network sources, it serves as a better string
to supply in block job events.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(virConnectDomainEventBlockJobCallback): Document altered semantics.
* src/conf/domain_event.c (_virDomainEventBlockJob): Rename field,
to ensure we catch all clients.
(virDomainEventBlockJobDispose, virDomainEventBlockJobNew)
(virDomainEventBlockJobNewFromObj)
(virDomainEventBlockJobNewFromDom)
(virDomainEventDispatchDefaultFunc): Adjust clients.
* src/conf/domain_event.h: Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockJobImpl): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessHandleBlockJob): Likewise.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x
(remote_domain_event_block_job_msg): Likewise.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c
(remoteDomainBuildEventBlockJobHelper): Likewise.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob): Likewise.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Regenerate.

If you think backward compatibility of old clients that expected
and operated on an absolute name is too important to break, I'm
open to suggestions on alternatives how to preserve that. We don't
have a flag argument during event registration, or I would have
used it.  Otherwise, I hope this change is okay as-is.
