Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] virFDStreamThread: Make sure we won't exceed @length

There's a problem with current streams after I switched them from iohelper to thread implementation. Previously, iohelper made sure not to exceed specified @length resulting in the pipe EOF appearing at the exact right moment (the pipe was used to tunnel the data from the iohelper to the daemon). Anyway, when switching to thread I had to write the I/O code from scratch. Whilst doing that I took an inspiration from the iohelper code, but since the usage of pipe switched to slightly different meaning, there was no 1:1 relationship between the codes. Moreover, after introducing VIR_FDSTREAM_MSG_TYPE_HOLE, the condition that should made sure we won't exceed @length was completely wrong. The fix is to: a) account for holes for @length b) cap not just data sections but holes too (if @length would be exceeded) For this purpose, the condition needs to be brought closer to the code that handles holes and data sections.
