Hi,
we recently ran into a problem when trying to start more than 20 guests if direct locking with virtlockd was enabled. The error message locked like this: # start test7 error: Failed to start domain test7 error: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer
Our research indicated there is a max_clients parameter set in src/locking/lock_daemon.c which causes the limitation. Simply increasing this number works as a workaround.
I don't have a deep understanding of the code, so I don't know if there is a bug and the connection should be dropped after the lock is set or if max_clients really is the way to go. If the latter I guess max_clients should be configurable like in virtlockd or at least be higher than 20 :)
Yikes, that was a stupid hardcoded limt on my part !
