messaging_dgm: Don't expose the messaging_dgm_context
Right now we can only support one messaging_dgm_context per process
anyway, the code has checks for this. I would like to keep it that
way, in the future we will have multiple messaging_context's or
imessaging_context's filtering based upon the dst server_id.
Why this change? messaging_dgm's lockfile contains the
serverid->unique_id. When designing messaging_dgm, I had in mind to
remove the serverid.tdb and replace it with the dgm lockfiles for server
lookup and enumeration. I have a WIP-patchset that gets rid of almost
all users of serverid.tdb. The problem is serverid_exists. Here we don't
have a messaging_context available, and it would be pretty intrusive
to make it so. This problem has plagued us since ctdb was developed,
see for example the comment
/*
* This is a Samba3 hack/optimization. Routines like process_exists need to
* talk to ctdbd, and they don't get handed a messaging context.
*/
in messaging_ctdb.c. This patchset removes this problem in a radical way:
Treat the messaging_dgm context as one globally available structure and
be done with it. The ctdb socket could go the same way in the future.
