2017-03-06qga: add systemd socket activation supportStefan Hajnoczi1-1/+2
AF_UNIX and AF_VSOCK listen sockets can be passed in by systemd on startup. This allows systemd to manage the listen socket until the first client connects and between restarts. Advantages of socket activation are that parallel startup of network services becomes possible and that unused daemons do not consume memory. The key to achieving this is the LISTEN_FDS environment variable, which is a stable ABI as shown here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/InterfacePortabilityAndStabilityChart/ We could link against libsystemd and use sd_listen_fds(3) but it's easy to implement the tiny LISTEN_FDS ABI so that qemu-ga does not depend on libsystemd. Some systems may not have systemd installed and wish to avoid the dependency. Other init systems or socket activation servers may implement the same ABI without systemd involvement. Test as follows: $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/qga.service [Unit] Description=qga [Service] WorkingDirectory=/tmp ExecStart=/path/to/qemu-ga --logfile=/tmp/qga.log --pidfile=/tmp/qga.pid --statedir=/tmp $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/qga.socket [Socket] ListenStream=/tmp/qga.sock [Install] WantedBy=default.target $ systemctl --user daemon-reload $ systemctl --user start qga.socket $ nc -U /tmp/qga.sock Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2012-02-23qemu-ga: move channel/transport functionality into wrapper classMichael Roth1-0/+33
This is mostly in preparation for the win32 port, which won't use GIO channels for reasons that will be made clearer later. Here the GAChannel class is just a loose wrapper around GIOChannel calls/callbacks, but we also roll in the logic/configuration for various channel types and managing unix socket connections, which makes the abstraction much more complete and further aids in the win32 port since isa-serial/unix-listen will not be supported initially. There's also a bit of refactoring in the main logic to consolidate the exit paths so we can do common cleanup for things like pid files, which weren't always cleaned up previously.
