[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/5] migration/rdma: Allow cancelling while waiting for wrid
Posted by Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git) 8 years, 7 months ago
From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

When waiting for a WRID, if the other side dies we end up waiting
for ever with no way to cancel the migration.
Cure this by poll()ing the fd first with a timeout and checking
error flags and migration state.

Just to note that this operation will return either 0 or 1, but not
anything <0 (most RDMA codes are using <0 as error, and error_state
should be <= 0 always iiuc).

But as the comment for this function, it's fine.

Do we want something like:

  ret = -EIO;

Here? Or capture the return code of qemu_rdma_wait_comp_channel() (but
then we need to make sure its return code is <0)?

I guess "ret" is still zero, and it means this function will return
with zero as well even timed out?

Thanks,

It's interesting in that 'error_state' is a -ve error code, where as
received_error is just a boolean; I've changed this to:

    if (rdma->received->error) {
        return -EPIPE;
    }
    return rdma->error_state;

to make it a bit more consistent.

But rdma->error_state is set if wait_comp_channel fails;
(actually it wasn't in one case, where the poll fails, I've just fixed
that and will repost).
