Class GanetiLockManager

source code

The Ganeti Locking Library

The purpose of this small library is to manage locking for ganeti clusters in a central place, while at the same time doing dynamic checks against possible deadlocks. It will also make it easier to transition to a different lock type should we migrate away from python threads.

__init__(self, nodes=None, instances=None)
(Constructor)

source code 

Constructs a new GanetiLockManager object.

There should be only a GanetiLockManager object at any time, so this function raises an error if this is not the case.

Parameters:
  • nodes - list of node names
  • instances - list of instance names

QueryLocks(self, fields, sync)

source code 

Queries information from all locks.

See LockMonitor.QueryLocks.

_names(self, level)

source code 

List the lock names at the given level.

This can be used for debugging/testing purposes.

Parameters:
  • level - the level whose list of locks to get

_BGL_owned(self)

source code 

Check if the current thread owns the BGL.

Both an exclusive or a shared acquisition work.

_contains_BGL(level, names)
Static Method

source code 

Check if the level contains the BGL.

Check if acting on the given level and set of names will change the status of the Big Ganeti Lock.

acquire(self, level, names, timeout=None, shared=0)

source code 

Acquire a set of resource locks, at the same level.

Parameters:
  • level (member of locking.LEVELS) - the level at which the locks shall be acquired
  • names (list of strings (or string)) - the names of the locks which shall be acquired (special lock names, or instance/node names)
  • shared (integer (0/1) used as a boolean) - whether to acquire in shared mode; by default an exclusive lock will be acquired
  • timeout (float) - Maximum time to acquire all locks

release(self, level, names=None)

source code 

Release a set of resource locks, at the same level.

You must have acquired the locks, either in shared or in exclusive mode, before releasing them.

Parameters:
  • level (member of locking.LEVELS) - the level at which the locks shall be released
  • names (list of strings, or None) - the names of the locks which shall be released (defaults to all the locks acquired at that level)

add(self, level, names, acquired=0, shared=0)

source code 

Add locks at the specified level.

Parameters:
  • level (member of locking.LEVELS_MOD) - the level at which the locks shall be added
  • names (list of strings) - names of the locks to acquire
  • acquired (integer (0/1) used as a boolean) - whether to acquire the newly added locks
  • shared (integer (0/1) used as a boolean) - whether the acquisition will be shared

remove(self, level, names)

source code 

Remove locks from the specified level.

You must either already own the locks you are trying to remove exclusively or not own any lock at an upper level.

Parameters:
  • level (member of locking.LEVELS_MOD) - the level at which the locks shall be removed
  • names (list of strings) - the names of the locks which shall be removed (special lock names, or instance/node names)
