[PATCH v5 17/23] migration/multifd: Add outgoing QIOChannelFile support
Posted by Fabiano Rosas 9 months ago
Allow multifd to open file-backed channels. This will be used when
enabling the mapped-ram migration stream format which expects a
seekable transport.

The QIOChannel read and write methods will use the preadv/pwritev
versions which don't update the file offset at each call so we can
reuse the fd without re-opening for every channel.

Contrary to the socket migration, the file migration doesn't need an
asynchronous channel creation process, so expose
multifd_channel_connect() and call it directly.

Note that this is just setup code and multifd cannot yet make use of
the file channels.

or it could be a separate bug.

the qio_channel_file_close() will clear the fd. Not the cleanest, but it
works.

It is always wise to explicitly call 'close'.

If something still has a GSource watch registered against
the QIOChannel, that GSource will be holding a reference
on the QIOChannel and will thus prevent finalize() ever
running.

By calling close() you guarantee the channel is closed,
even if you've mistakenly leaked a GSource somewhere.
Finalize still won't run in that case, but at least the
FD is gone, and the HUP might cause the GSource callback
to trigger correct cleanup;

With regards,
Daniel

I see.  Let's add a comment to explain why we do this explicit close(),
then?  It wasn't that clear, and we also don't do that on recv side.  It
seems also only useful for "file:", we can mention that in the comment if
so.
