[libvirt] [PATCH v2 00/20] Split parsing and defining logic of daemon's logging

[Erik Skultety]

v2 of the original series
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-May/msg00229.html

since v1:
- as Cole pointed out in 20/38 of the original series, the patches were not
designed in an elegant way and they were hard to review, so this series reworked
the whole series:
    -> first the existing methods that do combine parsing and defining logic
    and which should be dropped are renamed to a more accurate name
    -> all the necessary methods to achieve the "split" are introduced
    gradually, interconnected with each other
    -> finally, all the callers switch to the new logic introduced in the early
    patches in a transparent way
    -> all the original poorly named methods are completely dropped

- also, the original series introduced a new set of API locks because there was
an issue with 2 concurrent setters that while setter1 was preparing its local
set of outputs to replace the existing global one, setter2 might just replace
the global set with its copy, invalidating all fds of the setter1's set because
the original series used a concept of *copying* (not duplicating) of fds, so
the copied fd would be invalidated by issuing reset by setter2.
This series however, duplicates the file-based outputs'
(that should remain opened) fds. So even if setter2 replaces the original set
with its copy and calls reset, effectively closing all fds, it does not matter
for setter1, since unlink only decrements the number of references to a
specific opened fd.
