Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv3 1/4] util: Introduce monitor capability interface
On 09/20/2018 06:10 AM, Wang Huaqiang wrote:
This patch introduces the resource monitor and creates the interface
for getting host capability of resource monitor from the system resource
control file system.
The resource monitor takes the role of RDT monitoring group and could be
used to monitor the resource consumption information, such as the last
level cache occupancy and the utilization of memory bandwidth.

Upon further reflection since it wasn't in the next Uint call -2 failure

something does slip in there in the future...

I think this should be a VIR_DEBUG, as in is it really that important
unless you're debugging... and although I now think it'd be unnecessary
I'll add the virResetLastError here.

The ret = -1; is unnecessary. I think you missed my point. The rv == -2
up a bit does change it, but it goes to cleanup. I'll remove it.
I'll fix up things before I push. Just let me know if the VIR_DEBUG is
fine or if you prefer to keep VIR_INFO. It's not that important other
than you know you're going to get the message and seeing it as "INFO"
could alarm someone, so changing to DEBUG means someone could still see
the message and perhaps figure out why the value is 0 in their output
instead of something "real".
