People mentioned about long-term operations' LOCKs there. It seems that, in
libxl_driver, certain opeations may hold a lock for too long, thus other
operations, even those just do query jobs, would be blocked.
In qemu_driver, there seems to be a more complexy way to solve this
problem, by employing a condition variable.
Yep, that's pretty much the approach we'd want to take for libxl too
I believe.
My question is :
Is "Fixing such problem in libxl_driver" in our todo-list?
Yes
If yes, what's the detailed solution? Will that be similar to
qemu's
CONDITION VARIABLE method?
Yes
