[libvirt] [PATCH RFC 10/22] qemu_process: Introduce qemuProcessStartQmp
Posted by Chris Venteicher 6 years ago
Move a step closer to the function structure used elsewhere in
qemu_process where qemuProcessStart and qemuProcessStop are the exposed
functions.

qemuProcessStartQmp mirrors qemuProcessStart in calling sub functions to
intialize, launch the process and connect the monitor to the QEMU
process.

static functions qemuProcessInitQmp, qemuProcessLaunchQmp and
qemuConnectMonitorQmp are also introduced.

qemuProcessLaunchQmp is just renamed from qemuProcessRun and
encapsulates all of the original code.

qemuProcessInitQmp and qemuProcessMonitorQmp are introduced as empty
wrappers into which subsequent patches will partition code from
qemuProcessLaunchQmp.

I am sorry, but I'm failing to see the purpose of this function.

Or this function. Looking into next patches I can see that you're
extending them. Well, I still think it's not worth introducing empty
functions, just do the rename as you're doing in next patches.

Yep, I was trying to make it easier to review but didn't explain well
enough from the start. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Patch 10 (this patch) and 12 are about making it possible to do simple
cut/paste moves on semi-complicated blocks of original code moved
within patches 11 and 13.

The goal was to make patches 11 and 13 easy to review because
I don't actually change the code.  It's just moved.

If this seems good with the better explanation I can just try to make
that clear in the commit message for patch 10 and 12.

If it's more confusing this way I can start out with qemuProcesStartQmp
only calling qemuProcessLaunchQmp and the add qemuProcessInitQmp and
qemuConnectMonitorQmp as individual commits with full contents and just
explain that the guts are cut/paste moves with no changes in the commit
message.

Please let me know which approach you think is best.

The approach would be fine, but I believe Michal just didn't see any
reason to split the function in three parts in the first place.

qemuProcessStart which you're trying to mirror was split into several
phase because there is a code which needs to call the individual phases
separately so that additional logic can be put between the phases.

But it doesn't look like you need to do anything like this in your
series. So unless you want to somehow merge parts of the code for
qemuProcessStart and qemuProcessStartQmp, there's no real reason for the
split. So either you need to explain why we need to split the function
or you can drop this and the follow up patches doing the split.

And since this and the changes I suggested for the patches 1-9 may
result non-trivial changes to the other patches in this series, I'm
going to stop my series now. The main reason is that it is not entirely
obvious which of the following patches are just advancing the function
split or fixing issues introduced by the split and which of them would
be needed anyway.

So please, digest the review and send an updated version for further
review. And as explained in my reply to the cover latter, please send
both this refactoring and the new CPU related code in one series.

I hope it won't take me so long to review. I apologize for the delay
this time.
