Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] util: don't check for parallel iteration in hash-related functions

This is the responsability of the caller to apply the correct lock before using these functions. Moreover, the use of a simple boolean was still racy: two threads may check the boolean and "lock" it simultaneously. Users of functions from src/util/virhash.c have to be checked for correctness. Lookups and iteration should hold a RO lock. Modifications should hold a RW lock. Most important uses seem to be covered. Callers have now a greater responsability, notably the ability to execute some operations while iterating were reliably forbidden before are now accepted. --- src/util/virhash.c | 37 ---------------------- tests/virhashtest.c | 75 --------------------------------------------- 2 files changed, 112 deletions(-)
