[Chromium-dev] mothership server queries

[Brian P. <br...@va...>]

In spu/tilesort/tilesortspu_config.c there's a comment and code that reads:

	// The response to this tells us how many servers, what the
	// SPU id of their first SPU is, and where they are.
	//
	// For example:  2 1 tcpip://foo 2 tcpip://bar
	//
	// We need the SPU ID since the tiling information is actually
	// associated with the render SPU that must be at the head of the
	// server chain for tile/sorting to work properly.

	crMothershipGetServers( conn, response );


But as it's implemented, the response is actually of the form
"N url url [...]".  For example: 2 tcpip://foo tcpip://bar

That is, the SPU ids aren't in the response string.  I'd actually
like to have this information in the tilesort SPU and so far I
haven't found another way to query for the tilesort server SPU ids.

I'm wondering which is correct or intended: the comment or the code?

For the time being I'll add a new function to mothership.py so that
one can query server SPU ids.
