Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH cluster 3/3] pmxcfs: enable QB log thread
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2020 10:53:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201001085326.3815261-4-f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201001085326.3815261-1-f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com>

since pmxcfs is a multi-threaded application, and `man qblog.h`
explicitly states:

 Thread safe non-blocking logging.

 Logging is only thread safe when threaded logging is in use. If you
 plan on logging from multiple threads, you must initialize libqb's
 logger thread and use qb_log_filter_ctl to set the QB_LOG_CONF_THREADED
 flag on all the logging targets in use.

without this we can lose log messages under high load, especially when
enabling debug mode to trouble-shoot issues.

Notes:
    this would have saved Alexandre and me quite a bit of back and forth and false
    leads ;)
