[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] lock manager plugin dlm-corosync implementation

This is the implementation of the RFC from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-December/msg00689.html The following is the design of this iplementation. Environmental requirements: DLM is a symmetric general-purpose distributed lock manager, consisting of a kernel modules named 'dlm.ko', userspace application named 'libdlm', and cluster infrastructure environment which could be 'corosync' responsible for communication. For more usage about libdlm and corosync, `man corosync.conf` and `man dlm_controld` Implementation details: In order to use dlm in cluster, daemons, 'dlm_controld' and 'corosync', must have been runned before. Because dlm is asynchronous, there is something receiving notification from kernel. 'libdlm' provides `dlm_pthread_init` and `dlm_ls_pthread_init` for this purpose. Here is lockspace concept in dlm. Lockspace is different from sanlock, it's just to provide a private namespaceit's one namespace for locks that are part of a single application. One lock must belong to one lockspace, and is associated with one lock resource, owned by one process in one node. Lock/unlock need specific flag. Lock flags `LKF_PERSISTENT` specifies a lock that wouldn't be unlocked if the process was dead or lockspace was closed (`dlm_close_lockspace`). lockspace is cluster-wide, lock with `LKF_PERSISTENT` flag won't be automatically released except that the owner node reboot, but it will become an orphan lock once process disappears. New process in the same node want to adopt orphan lock, just specific `LKF_ORPHAN` when re-lock using the right lock-name and lock-mode, new lock id would be assigned for adopted lock. lkid(lock id) is a mark uniquely identifing a lock in a process, which is returned after locking sucessfully or adopting sucessfully. Lock could be only released by self-process applied using lkid. The following means: locks won't be automatically released when the process(libvirt) that acquired them dies, daemon likes virtlockd isn't necessary. In order to adopt orphan locks, there must be some lock information left after the process died. A file would store the lock information in this design. However, I find that the existence of "leaked" fd in vm instance process inherited from libvirt would tell lock daemon to release their locks instead of libvirt. So destroy or shutdown qemu instance won't make dlm release locks. I refer to the action of libxl(`libxlDomainCleanup` function in 'src/libxl/libxl_domain.c'), add some code after unlink pid and xml files in `qemuProcessStop` ('src/qemu/qemu_process.c') to proactively tell lock manager release locks. Adhere to the simple, enough principle, lock information using by running libvirt process is stored in list instead of hash table. I have tested in some cases: start, migrate, destroy... It works well. *** BLURB HERE *** river (3): Add a plugin dlm for lock manager Fix release of locks with dlm plugin Add configuration files for dlm plugin .gitignore | 2 + configure.ac | 6 + m4/virt-cpg.m4 | 37 ++ m4/virt-dlm.m4 | 36 ++ src/Makefile.am | 53 ++ src/libxl/libxl.conf | 8 +- src/locking/dlm.conf | 52 ++ src/locking/libvirt_dlm.aug | 35 ++ src/locking/lock_driver_dlm.c | 1056 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/locking/test_libvirt_dlm.aug.in | 9 + src/qemu/qemu.conf | 8 +- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 5 + src/util/virlist.h | 110 ++++ 13 files changed, 1410 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 m4/virt-cpg.m4 create mode 100644 m4/virt-dlm.m4 create mode 100644 src/locking/dlm.conf create mode 100644 src/locking/libvirt_dlm.aug create mode 100644 src/locking/lock_driver_dlm.c create mode 100644 src/locking/test_libvirt_dlm.aug.in create mode 100644 src/util/virlist.h -- 2.15.1
