Change subject: core: auto start vms with lease ...................................................................... core: auto start vms with lease When detecting that a host is non-responsive we move the VMs that are supposed to run on that host to Unknown status. This patch adds to that a special treatment for VMs with leases: for each VM with a lease, we will try to run the VM on another host. The lease should prevent us from getting a split-brain. However, we do not want to try to run the VM on each vds monitoring cycle (which is by default every 3 seconds) so we define a config value for setting the frequency of those attempts. Note that when host becomes non-responsive we get network exceptions from several places: 1. calls to refresh host capabilities. 2. calls to poll vms (on statistics iterations). 3. every command that interacts with vdsm. As a result, VdsManager#restartVmsWithLeaseIfNeeded may be called simultaneously from several threads and that may cause us to skip a restart attempt. Thus, adding a lock to ensure mutually exclusive execution of that method.
