Line 8: 
I like this - this is not a hack! We have a thread dedicated to each storage 
domain, but we do not use it for most storage domain operations.

File vdsm/storage/monitor.py:

Line 249: 
Line 250:             self._performDomainSelftest()
Line 251:             self._checkReadDelay()
Line 252:             self._collectStatistics()
Line 253:             self._garbageCollect()
The domain monitor must wake up every 10 seconds for monitoring the storage, so 
this must be short operation that never blocks for long time, unless the 
blocking means that the domain is not accessible.

Collecting garbage here means also that notifying state changes, acquiring host 
id and setting next status will be delayed.

I think garbage collections should be integrated in the the monitor loop, after 
_monitorDomain returns, something like this:

    deadline = monotonic_time()

    while True:
        deadline += interval
        monitor domain
        collect garbage before deadline
        sleep until deadline

So gc is performed in the time the monitor used to sleep before, and cannot 
disturb reporting, unless the storage is stuck, which is a fine reason to 
disturb reporting.

self.sdUUID)
