Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Ignore libvirt debug messages in qemu log

qemu driver uses a 4K buffer for reading qemu log file. This is enough when only qemu's output is present in the log file. However, when debugging messages are turned on, intermediate libvirt process fills the log with a bunch of debugging messages before it executes qemu binary. In such a case the buffer may become too small. However, we are not really interested in libvirt messages so they can be filtered out from the buffer. --- Notes: Version 2: - add a comment to virLogFormatString() that this new code relies on the log message format - temporarily replace '\n' with '\0' to provide a bound for strstr()

+ + /* Filter out debug messages from intermediate libvirt process */ + while ((eol = strchr(filter_next, '\n'))) { + *eol = '\0'; + if (strstr(filter_next, debug)) { + memmove(filter_next, eol + 1, got - (eol - buf)); + got -= eol + 1 - filter_next; + } else { + filter_next = eol + 1; + *eol = '\n'; + } + }
