After thinking again it probably makes more sense (and the code more
beautiful) to initialize the worker pool even for maxworker=0 (within
I don't understand why should we do that. We don't even initialize it for
libvirtd server - the implications are clear - you don't have workers, you
don't get to process a job.
virNetServerNew) (=> we'll have to adapt
virNetServerDispatchNewMessage
as well). BTW, there is also a segmentation fault in
virThreadPoolSetParameters… And currently it’s not possible to start
with maxworkers set to 0 and then increase it via
Do I assume correctly that virNetServerDispatchNewMessage would allocate a new
worker if there was a request to process but the threadpool was empty? If so, I
don't see a reason to do that, why would anyone want to run with no workers?
They don't consume any resources, since they're waiting on a condition.
However, any segfaults or deadlocks must be fixed, I'll have a look at the
series as is, unless you've got a compelling reason why it's beneficial to run
with no workers at all.
