This is an awesome idea. However, it seems a bit overengineered. Why do we need QSource at all? In my opinion, we should first change dataplane to use AioContext as a GSource, and benchmark it thoroughly. If it is fast enough, we can "just" introduce a glib-based QContext and be done with it. Hopefully that is the case... Paolo
