Re: [Libvir] Remote & the problem with qemu deadlock

In real terms what this would mean is that all the functions in qemu_internal.c are changed so that they become: static int qemuDestroyDomain(virDomainPtr domain) { qemud_packet_client req; qemud_packet_server reply; qemuPrivatePtr priv = (qemuPrivatePtr) domain->conn->privateData; req.data.type = QEMUD_CLIENT_PKT_DOMAIN_DESTROY; req.data.qemud_packet_client_data_u.domainDestroyRequest.id = domain->id; #if QEMU_INTERNAL_IS_REALLY_LINKED_TO_THE_SERVER /* some code to get the fake server & client, and then: */ qemudDispatchDomainDestroy (server, client, req, rep); /* followed by some code to decode the fake "reply packet" */ #else /* existing code: */ if (qemuProcessRequest(domain->conn, priv->qemud_fd, NULL, &req, &reply) < 0) { return -1; } return 0; #endif } So it can be done but qemu_internal is sure going to look ugly afterwards.
