[Libguestfs] [PATCH NOT WORKING nbdkit v2 0/2] vddk: Restructure plugin to allow greater parallelism.
This is my second attempt at this. The first version (also not working) was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-October/msg00062.html In part 1/2 I introduce a new .ready_to_serve plugin method which is called after forking and just before accepting any client connection. The idea would be that plugins could start background threads here. However this doesn't work well in practice because plugins which do start any background threads seem to always get a segfault at shutdown, with a race between __nptl_deallocate_tsd and some code being unloaded (I'm not sure exactly what). Part 2/2 restructures the VDDK plugin. This time I fixed the message passing so it doesn't deadlock as it did before. I thought that this patch might have solved the other VDDK problem we have around "Resolve Host" taking so long, but in fact it does not fix that either. (VDDK is still broken, news as 11). Anyway I don't think there's anything worth saving here. I'm mainly posting it so we have a back up. Rich.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH NOT WORKING nbdkit v2 1/2] server: Add .ready_to_serve plugin method.
This method can be used for plugins to get control after the server
has forked and changed user but before it accepts a connection. This
is very late and the only real use for this is for a plugin to create
background threads for its own use.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH NOT WORKING nbdkit v2 2/2] vddk: Restructure plugin to allow greater parallelism.
This finally solves a long-standing problem that the plugin did not
follow the peculiar rules that VDDK imposes on multithreaded
programming (see "Multithreading Considerations" in the VDDK manual).
We add a background thread to the plugin which is responsible for
issuing the following VDDK calls:
VixDiskLib_InitEx
VixDiskLib_Exit
VixDiskLib_ConnectEx
VixDiskLib_Open
VixDiskLib_Close
VixDiskLib_Disconnect
(Other calls are still made directly by the plugin.) This involves
some complicated synchronization but is otherwise uninteresting.
This allows us to relax the thread model from SERIALIZE_ALL_REQUESTS
to SERIALIZE_REQUESTS. Note that VDDK does not allow parallel
requests to be made on one handle, so we cannot relax the model any
further.

With .open and .config, we do, because there are parameters to the function, where the filter may change the parameter handed to the plugin (for example, changing read-write to read-only or altering a config key). But for other functions where there is no parameter, we let nbdkit control the recursion (.prepare, .finalize, .close). There is no other parameter here to be changed, so having nbdkit run the recursion may make more sense. Should there be a counterpart function for cleanup? We have: .load/.unload - called once per nbdkit process, too early for forks [here's where .ready_to_serve fits] .open/.close - called once per connection, too early for next_ops .close/.finalize - called once per connection, full access The new .ready_to_serve is called once per nbdkit process, but at a point where it knows all .loads are complete and it is safe to fork. I guess .unload can also do a pthread_join() on any thread created during .ready_to_serve. We needed .finalize separate from .close because the filter may still need to manipulate the plugin, but there is no manipulation of the plugin needed during .load or .ready_to_serve, so having a trio of related functions rather than two nested pairs of functions still works.> +++ b/docs/nbdkit-plugin.pod > @@ -142,6 +142,13 @@ before any connections are accepted.
