Re: [PATCH 2/6] nodedev: Wait for device initialization in nodeDeviceCreate()

Although I have not experienced this in real life, there is a
possible race condition when creating new device. If the nodedev
driver is still enumerating devices (in a separate thread) and
virNodeDeviceCreate() is called then it can lead to spurious
results because the device enumeration thread is removing devices
from or adding them to the internal list of devices (among with
their states).
Therefore, wait for things to settle down before proceeding with
nodeDeviceCreate().
Hmm, correct. Looking at the source - nodeDeviceGetXMLDesc,
nodeDeviceGetParent and nodeDeviceNumOfCaps are the only exceptions as far as
public API mappings go. Would you mind extending this patch?
