[lxc-devel] [PATCH] lxcapi_restore shouldn't steal the calling process

Quoting Tycho Andersen (tycho.andersen at canonical.com):
> Previously, lxcapi_restore used the calling process as the lxc monitor process
> (and just never returned), requiring users to fork before calling it. This, of
> course, would cause problems for things like LXD, which can't fork.
>
> Now, restore() forks the monitor as a child of the process that calls it. Users
> who want to daemonize the restore process need to fork themselves.
> lxc-checkpoint has been updated to reflect this behavior change.

Thanks, Tycho. I'm ok with it as is,
Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn at ubuntu.com>
but there's one thing that could stand improvement (with a later
patch). The lxcapi_restore() will hang on many errors in the
restoring task bc you don't always send a failure status back over the
socket. Yo ucoudl either alway ssend a failure status, or you could
probably just select() before the read, though you'd have to guess at a
decent timeout.
