    save: add virFileDirectFd wrapper type · 519a1c43
    Eric Blake 提交于
    O_DIRECT has stringent requirements.  Rather than make lots of changes
    at each site that wants to use O_DIRECT, it is easier to offload
    the work through a helper process that mirrors the I/O between a
    pipe and the actual direct fd, so that the other end of the pipe
    no longer has to worry about constraints.
    
    Plus, if the kernel ever gains better posix_fadvise support, then we
    only have to touch a single file to let all callers benefit from a
    more efficient way to avoid file system caching.
    
    * src/util/virfile.h (virFileDirectFdFlag, virFileDirectFdNew)
    (virFileDirectFdClose, virFileDirectFdFree): New prototypes.
    * src/util/virdirect.c: Implement new wrapper object.
    * src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export new symbols.
    * cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add to list.
    * po/POTFILES.in: Add new translations.
