This now allows changing the logfile while logging is active,
and also solves the issue of a seg fault while changing the logfile.

Any read access to the qemu_logfile handle will use
the rcu_read_lock()/unlock() around the use of the handle.
To fetch the handle we will use atomic_rcu_read().
We also in many cases do a check for validity of the
logfile handle before using it to deal with the case where the
file is closed and set to NULL.

The cases where we write to the qemu_logfile will use atomic_rcu_set().
Writers will also use call_rcu() with a newly added qemu_logfile_free
function for freeing/closing when readers have finished.

If you are declaring a typedef then do it in one:

  typedef struct QemuLogFile { ...

We only really use the second form for opaque structs where the handle
is passed around but the contents hidden from the rest of QEMU.

Do we need multiple

This is unbalanced as you'll have incremented the reader count. Also
qemu_log_enabled() is also synonymous with logfile existing so you could
fold that into:

  bool res = false;

  rcu_read_lock();
  *logfile = atomic_rcu_read(&qemu_logfile);
  if (logfile && logfile->fd != stderr) {
     res = true;
  }
  rcu_read_unlock();
  return res;

There is technically a race there as the answer may become invalid after
qemu_log_separate() returns. However given the users I don't see what
could fail afterwards.

static inline FILE *fd qemu_log_lock(void)
{
    FILE *fd;
    rcu_read_lock();
    fd = atomic_rcu_read(&qemu_logfile);
    if (fd) {
        qemu_flockfile(fd);
        return fd;
    } else {
        rcu_read_unlock();
        return NULL;
    }
}

static inline qemu_log_unlock(FILE *fd)
{
    if (fd) {
        qemu_funlockfile(fd);
        rcu_read_unlock();
    }
}

While the rcu_read_lock() is in progress then we won't ever finish with
the fd - which we don't want to do until the file locking is finished.

You can assume logfilename exists as glib memory allocations would
abort() otherwise.

This can be static as it's internal to log.c

g_assert(logfile) instead of the if?

I think you can move the both the unlocks out of the if/else and drop
the else.

This can probably be a qemu_log_lock() instead given interleaving output
is going to be confusing.

and qemu_log_unlock();

This cleanup could even be in a separate patch.

OK, makes sense.  Will correct it.  Thanks for explaining.

Not 100% sure on the meaning here.  Are you asking if we need to
extern this?  We have a few other cases outside of the log module
where this is getting used so the extern is needed here.

Agree with the adjustments you made to qemu_log_lock().  I updated the
code above with a few tweaks for the QemuLogFile type returned by
atomic_rcu_read().  Does this look OK or is there any other adjustment
we should make here?

The intent here was for qemu_log_lock() to hold the rcu_read_lock()
until after we can qemu_funlockfile(fd).  The idea being that we want
to prevent the fclose(fd) from happening by holding the
rcu_read_lock() across the qemu_log_lock() until qemu_log_unlock().
So we have the qemu_funlockfile(fd) first, and then once we're done
with the fd, it is safe to rcu_read_unlock().

This is good to know about the glib memory allocations as it relates
to the logfile above, since we did not add any check for null on
allocation.

We are thinking that logfilename might be NULL if we either never set
it with a call to qemu_set_log_filename(), or (with our intended new
fix) if we took an error actually opening the file in
qemu_set_log_filename(), and went down the error path.

Absolutely, makes sense.  Will change it.

I agree, the assert is cleaner.  Will change it.

Agreed.  Originally we were thinking to hold the lock until after the
call_rcu, but I agree with you, it seems safe to move it.

The function calling tcg_dump_ops(), tcg_gen_code(), already has the
qemu_log_lock() held.

We were thinking about another type of cleanup, but it applies to this
case as well, since this case is using the qemu_logfile.   We were
thinking that at some point (another patch) it might be good to
cleanup the use of the qemu_logfile global so that it is only
referenced from inside the log module.    We noticed a comment in
log.h calling it a private global, which we thought might imply that
it was an intent to keep it private, and that this cleanup might be a
good direction to move in.

Thanks,
