[Spice-devel] [RFC] server/red_channel (all): introduce RedChannelClient

Alon Levy alevy at redhat.com
Sun Mar 27 08:51:55 PDT 2011


This commit adds a RedChannelClient that now owns the stream connection,
but still doesn't own the pipe. There is only a single RCC per RC
right now (and RC still means RedChannel, RedClient will be introduced
later). All internal api changes are in server/red_channel.h, hence
the need to update all channels. red_worker.c is affected the most because
it makes use of direct access to some of RedChannel still.

API changes:

 1. red_channel_client_create added.
  rec_channel_create -> (red_channel_create, red_channel_client_create)
 2. two way connection: rcc->channel, channel->rcc (later channel will
  hold a list, and there will be a RedClient to hold the list of channels
  per client)
 3. seperation of channel disconnect and channel_client_disconnect
