You may want an optimization of using a bitset for tracking which fds are tracked by fdset in the first place, so that the fast path of qemu_close() will be a check against the bitset to see if you even have to waste time on the reverse lookup in the first place. The bitset will typically be small (bounded not only by the maximum possible fd, but further by the fact that we don't usually open that many fds in the first place), but I'm not sure if you can get away with static sizing. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
