[Libguestfs] [PATCH libnbd v2] examples: Include an example of integrating with glib main loop.
This is working now, and incorporates all of the changes in Eric's review, *except* that it still doesn't retire commands (although this seems to make no obvious difference, except possibly a performance and memory impact). Rich.

I've mentioned that idea before; I guess it is more of an optimization - we will probably notice the problem eventually if the client ever tries to issue another command or detects EOF while reading a response; but tying up the resource until the next client command vs. identifying the problem immediately may matter to some clients. Also, there may still be a possible race:> +/* This idle callback reads data from the source nbdkit until the ring > + * is full. > + */ > +static gboolean > +read_data (gpointer user_data) > +{ > + static uint64_t posn = 0;> + buffers[i].rcookie > + nbd_aio_pread_callback (gssrc->nbd, buffers[i].data, > + BUFFER_SIZE, buffers[i].offset, > + finished_read, NULL, 0);It may be possible in rare situations that the libnbd state machine can send() the command AND see data ready to recv() (perhaps from a previous command still in flight), where it ends up read()ing until blocking and happens to get the server's reply to this command and fire off the callback, all prior to the nbd_aio_pread_callback() returning. If that ever happens, then buffers[i].rcookie will still be unset at the time the callback fires...> +/* This callback is called from libnbd when any read command finishes. */ > +static int > +finished_read (void *vp, int64_t rcookie, int *error) > +{ > + size_t i; > + > + if (gssrc == NULL) > + return 0; > + > + DEBUG (gssrc, "finished_read: read completed"); > + > + /* Find the corresponding buffer and mark it as completed. */ > + for (i = 0; i < nr_buffers; ++i) { > + if (buffers[i].rcookie == rcookie) > + goto found; > + } > + /* This should never happen. */ > + abort ();...such that we can hit this abort(). (Same for the write callback). But I don't know how likely that scenario is in practice, and don't see it as a reason to defer committing this patch as-is. I don't know if there is any way to rework the state machine to guarantee that a completion callback will not fire during the same aio_FOO_callback that registered the callback (that is, to guarantee that h->lock will be dropped and must be re-obtained prior to firing off a callback), but it's worth thinking about. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
