2013-08-22aio / timers: Untangle include filesAlex Bligh
include/qemu/timer.h has no need to include main-loop.h and doing so causes an issue for the next patch. Unfortunately various files assume including timers.h will pull in main-loop.h. Untangle this mess. Signed-off-by: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-08-19aio: drop io_flush argumentStefan Hajnoczi
The .io_flush() handler no longer exists and has no users. Drop the io_flush argument to aio_set_fd_handler() and related functions. The AioFlushEventNotifierHandler and AioFlushHandler typedefs are no longer used and are dropped too.

2013-08-19thread-pool: drop thread_pool_active()Stefan Hajnoczi
.io_flush() is no longer called so drop thread_pool_active(). The block layer is the only thread-pool.c user and it already tracks in-flight requests, therefore we do not need thread_pool_active(). Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-03-15threadpool: drop global thread poolStefan Hajnoczi
Now that each AioContext has a ThreadPool and the main loop AioContext can be fetched with bdrv_get_aio_context(), we can eliminate the concept of a global thread pool from thread-pool.c. The submit functions must take a ThreadPool* argument. block/raw-posix.c and block/raw-win32.c use aio_get_thread_pool(bdrv_get_aio_context(bs)) to fetch the main loop's ThreadPool. tests/test-thread-pool.c must be updated to reflect the new thread_pool_submit() function prototypes.

2013-03-15threadpool: add thread_pool_new() and thread_pool_free()Stefan Hajnoczi
ThreadPool is tied to an AioContext through its event notifier, which dictates in which AioContext the work item's callback function will be invoked. In order to support multiple AioContexts we need to support multiple ThreadPool instances. This patch adds the new/free functions. The free function deserves special attention because it quiesces remaining worker threads. This requires a new condition variable and a "stopping" flag to let workers know they should terminate once idle. We never needed to do this before since the global threadpool was not explicitly destroyed until process termination. Also stash the AioContext pointer in ThreadPool so that we can call aio_set_event_notifier() in thread_pool_free(). We didn't need to hold onto AioContext previously since there was no free function.

2013-03-15threadpool: move globals into struct ThreadPoolStefan Hajnoczi
Move global variables into a struct so multiple thread pools can be supported in the future. This patch does not change thread-pool.h interfaces. There is still a global thread pool and it is not yet possible to create/destroy individual thread pools. Moving the variables into a struct first makes later patches easier to review.

2012-11-14aio: rename AIOPool to AIOCBInfoStefan Hajnoczi
Now that AIOPool no longer keeps a freelist, it isn't really a "pool" anymore. Rename it to AIOCBInfo and make it const since it no longer needs to be modified. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2012-10-31aio: add generic thread-pool facilityPaolo Bonzini
Add a generic thread-pool. The code is roughly based on posix-aio-compat.c, with some changes, especially the following: - use QemuSemaphore instead of QemuCond; - separate the state of the thread from the return code of the worker function. The return code is totally opaque for the thread pool; - do not busy wait when doing cancellation. A more generic threadpool (but still specific to I/O so that in the future it can use special scheduling classes or PI mutexes) can have many uses: it allows more flexibility in raw-posix.c and can more easily be extended to Win32, and it will also be used to do an msync of the persistent bitmap.
