Re: [libvirt] Non-blocking virStreamRecv always returns -2 (EAGAIN)?

I'm running the following test program, and it works as written with a blocking stream. Inside the guest I'm running: [root@f17-minimal ~]# socat /usr/share/dict/words /dev/virtio-ports/org.libguestfs.channel.0 As expected on the client side, I get all the words dumped. However if I swap the virStreamNew lines and instead use the non-blocking stream, the virStreamRecv call always returns -2. >From http://libvirt.org/internals/rpc.html#apiclientdispatch, I see: When no thread is performing any RPC method call, or sending stream data there is still a need to monitor the socket for incoming I/O related to asynchronous events, or stream data receipt. For this task, a watch is registered with the event loop which triggers whenever the socket is readable. This watch is automatically disabled whenever any other thread grabs the buck, and re-enabled when the buck is released. If I understand that correctly, shouldn't the watch be responsible for reading the stream data in this case? Or am I just completely missing something? ----- #include <libvirt.h> int main() { virConnectPtr conn; virDomainPtr dom; virStreamPtr st; char buf[1024+1]; int got = 0; conn = virConnectOpen("qemu+ssh://root@localhost/system"); dom = virDomainLookupByName(conn, "f17-minimal"); /* st = virStreamNew(conn, VIR_STREAM_NONBLOCK); */ st = virStreamNew(conn, 0); virDomainOpenChannel(dom, "org.libguestfs.channel.0", st, 0); while (1) { got = virStreamRecv(st, buf, 1024); switch (got) { case 0: goto finish; case -1: goto free; case -2: puts("Retrying"); sleep(1); continue; } buf[got] = '\0'; puts(buf); } finish: virStreamFinish(st); free: virStreamFree(st); return 0; } -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
