2013-03-15coroutine: use AioContext for CoQueue BHStefan Hajnoczi
CoQueue uses a BH to awake coroutines that were made ready to run again using qemu_co_queue_next() or qemu_co_queue_restart_all(). The BH currently runs in the iothread AioContext and would break coroutines that run in a different AioContext. This is a slightly tricky problem because the lifetime of the BH exceeds that of the CoQueue. This means coroutines can be awoken after CoQueue itself has been freed. Also, there is no qemu_co_queue_destroy() function which we could use to handle freeing resources. Introducing qemu_co_queue_destroy() has a ripple effect of requiring us to also add qemu_co_mutex_destroy() and qemu_co_rwlock_destroy(), as well as updating all callers. Avoid doing that. We also cannot switch from BH to GIdle function because aio_poll() does not dispatch GIdle functions. (GIdle functions make memory management slightly easier because they free themselves.) Finally, I don't want to move unlock_queue and unlock_bh into AioContext. That would break encapsulation - AioContext isn't supposed to know about CoQueue. This patch implements a different solution: each qemu_co_queue_next() or qemu_co_queue_restart_all() call creates a new BH and list of coroutines to wake up. Callers tend to invoke qemu_co_queue_next() and qemu_co_queue_restart_all() occasionally after blocking I/O, so creating a new BH for each call shouldn't be massively inefficient. Note that this patch does not add an interface for specifying the AioContext. That is left to future patches which will convert CoQueue, CoMutex, and CoRwlock to expose AioContext.

2012-10-30aio: introduce AioContext, move bottom halves therePaolo Bonzini
Start introducing AioContext, which will let us remove globals from aio.c/async.c, and introduce multiple I/O threads. The bottom half functions now take an additional AioContext argument. A bottom half is created with a specific AioContext that remains the same throughout the lifetime. qemu_bh_new is just a wrapper that uses a global context.

2011-12-05coroutine: add qemu_co_queue_restart_all()Stefan Hajnoczi
It's common to wake up all waiting coroutines. Introduce the qemu_co_queue_restart_all() function to do this instead of looping over qemu_co_queue_next() in every caller. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2011-08-02coroutines: Use one global bottom half for CoQueueKevin Wolf
Now that AsyncContexts don't exist any more, we can use one global bottom half for restarting coroutines instead of allocating a new one every time (before removing AsyncContexts, the problem with having a global BH was that it had to belong to a single AsyncContexts and wouldn't be executed in a different one - which leads to deadlocks) Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
