[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Bug fix: Allow user creates multiple templates

[Aline Manera]

While trying to create multiple templates I got the following error on
console:

[08/Jun/2015:12:57:23] HTTP Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 670, in respond
    response.body = self.handler()

    self.body = self.oldhandler(*args, **kwargs)

    return self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

  File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/control/base.py", line 262, in create
    name = create(*args)
  File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/model/templates.py", line 48, in create
    user = UserTests().probe_user()
  File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/kvmusertests.py", line 55, in probe_user
    flags=libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTODESTROY)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 3424, in createXML
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: operation failed: domain 'KVMUSERTEST_VM' already exists
with uuid 2be4b2e8-f57a-4f87-8c24-5ac59d4bb4af

The error happens because of a race condition while trying to get the kvm user
(to validate the ISO file permissions). To avoid this problem, a lock
was added to ensure the code is run once at a time.
