From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

Firing watches on the nodes that still exist is relatively easy; just
walk the tree and look at the nodes with refcount of one.

Firing watches on *deleted* nodes is more fun. We add 'modified_in_tx'
and 'deleted_in_tx' flags to each node. Nodes with those flags cannot
be shared, as they will always be unique to the transaction in which
they were created.

When xs_node_walk would need to *create* a node as scaffolding and it
encounters a deleted_in_tx node, it can resurrect it simply by clearing
its deleted_in_tx flag. If that node originally had any *data*, they're
gone, and the modified_in_tx flag will have been set when it was first
deleted.

We then attempt to send appropriate watches when the transaction is
committed, properly delete the deleted_in_tx nodes, and remove the
modified_in_tx flag from the others.

This is the only call to init_walk_op() which ignores its
return value. Intentional, or missing error handling?

Hi -- I was going through the unclassified Coverity issues
again today, and this one's still on the list. Is this a
bug, or intentional?

Ping^3 -- is this a false positive, or something to be fixed?
It would be nice to be able to classify the coverity issue
appropriately.

Oops, sorry for the delay. 

It is arguably a false positive.

There are two cases where init_walk_op() can fail:

 • It's given a transaction ID which doesn't exist. But in this case
   it's actually given XBT_NULL because the transaction is *already*
   committed and all we're doing is setting up a tree walk to fire
   watches on the newly-committed changed nodes.
or,
 •  The given path is invalid. Which it isn't here because we pass a
    hard-coded "/".

I was about to stick in the standard if(ret){return ret;} but the
semantics of that would be a bit bizarre.

As noted, by this point the transaction *was* committed already. So all
that gets aborted is the *watches* that were supposed to fire on
changed nodes. Returning an error in that case would be a bit weird.

So I'll go for a g_assert(!ret) with a comment about why. Patch
follows.

I shall also have another go at frowning at the soft-reset locking vs.
the timer and other code, and seeing if I win this time...
