Some drivers are stateless (Xen, test), while others are stateful (QEMU). The later can only be accessed via the daemon. This patch adds a new internal driver API to allow drivers to register a set of functions for performing work on daemon startup, shutdown and reload. It makes the QEMU driver in qemud/driver.c provide implementations of these funtions. It adapts the qemud/qemud.c to call these new global driver functions. Finally it fixes the idle timeout shutdown of the daemon disabled in an earlier patch. NB this patch adds 3 new exported symbols for private use by the daemon. qemud/driver.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++--- qemud/driver.h | 5 +-- qemud/internal.h | 1 qemud/qemud.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/driver.h | 15 +++++++++ src/internal.h | 9 +++++ src/libvirt.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_sym.version | 5 +++ 8 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
