Hi Michal, thank you for your answer. so if i understand that correctly, no matter if i shutdown or destroy the domain and no matter if it is a transient or an persistent vm, the thread should disappear, right?
in my case they still exist, also an hour after i destroy the domain (and don´t start any new one).
i use libvirt-1.1.35 on fedora core 20, for information.
Well, can you attach gdb and see what is the new thread doing?
Also, we intentionally keep a pool of worker threads, in order to minimize the overhead of creating and tearing down threads; the pool is populated on demand. If there is a free thread, we reuse it; otherwise we create the new one. A thread that has nothing to do is not wasting resources while waiting around for a new reason to be used. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
