Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v5] qemu: Connect to guest agent iff needed

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293351 Since we already have virtio channel events, we know when guest agent within guest has (dis-)connected. Instead of us blindly connecting to a socket that no one is listening to, we can just follow what qemu-ga does. This has a nice benefit that we don't need to 'guest-ping' the agent just to timeout and find out nobody is listening. The way that this commit is implemented: - don't connect in qemuProcessLaunch directly, defer that to event callback (which already follows the agent) - processSerialChangedEvent - after migration is settled, before we resume vCPUs, ask qemu whether somebody is listening on the socket and if so, connect to it. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; --- diff to v4: - drop asking qemu in qemuConnectAgent; in most cases we were asking twice. Rather put explicit virtio channel querying into places that were missing it anyway. - Move qemuConnectAgent in qemuProcessReconnect() *after* we have refreshed channel states. src/qemu/qemu_migration.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- src/qemu/qemu_process.h | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
