Description Edward Haas 2018-04-12 18:43:56 UTC
Description of problem:
Performing host network changes or querying during changes in parallel may result in either corruption of the configuration or in presenting a state of the host in a intermediate unstable changing state.
Although the caller is expected to protect against such access, it is the responsibility of VDSM networking API to protect itself, providing a safe way to set or get the host network configuration.

Expected results:
Host network state changes and queries verbs should be in sync, not allowing concurrent access.

It is suggested to softly block on these verbs.

Comment 1 Dan Kenigsberg 2018-09-03 10:31:44 UTC
Engine makes sure not to shoot a getCaps while setupNetwork is on the fly.

It is not a high priority to protect this also on Vdsm.
