Hi list,
I was wondering about the status of this bug:
Patch proposed but the original reporter never indicated whether it actually fixed the problem or not. If someone can confirm ....
Is it correct that this is a bug in the libvirt client? I ran into this today, as I've written a kind of a VM scheduler (ressource requirements, placement etc.) in Java (libvirt-java 0.3.0, libvirt 0.6.5) and this is a show-stopper for me right now. I had some troubles with the newest version of libvirt (it couldn't connect to Xen IIRC), so I don't want to mess my setup again for nothing.
What is actually causing this problem resp. in which situation is libvirt broken? When a client uses more than one connection at the same time? Or when a client uses more than one connection to the same server at the same time? Are there any recommeded workarounds?
I believe the problem is when you use multiple different virConnectPtr objects. If using one connection from multiple threads libvirt itself would have provided sufficient locking.
