v5:
* Use Igor's get_pointer() malloc string patch [Igor]
* Add object_get_canonical_basename() and use it for iothread_get_id() [Igor]
v4:
* Rename qdev property to virtio-blk-pci,x-iothread= since we will switch to
QOM links once object_property_add_link() is fixed [bonzini]
v3:
* Fixed "Reliquinish" typo [fam]
* Rebased onto qemu.git/master which now has Igor's -object improvements
v2:
* Based off Igor's "-object/object-add support custom location and 2nd stage
initialization" series
* Dropped dedicated -iothread option in favor of -object
* Avoid re-acquiring rfifo in iothread_run() [mdroth]
This series moves the event loop thread out of dataplane code. It makes
-object iothread,id=foo a separate concept so several devices can be bound to
same iothread.
Syntax:
qemu -object iothread,id=iothread0 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,x-iothread=iothread0,x-data-plane=on,...
For backwards-compatibility the iothread= parameter can be omitted. A
per-device IOThread will be created behind the scenes (just like the old 1:1
threading model).
This series includes the aio_context_acquire/release API which makes it easy to
synchronize access to AioContext across threads.
After this series I will send separate patches for a "query-iothreads" command
that returns thread IDs similar to "query-cpus". This will allow binding
dataplane threads to host CPUs.
Igor Mammedov (1):
qdev: make get_pointer() handle temporary strings
Stefan Hajnoczi (6):
object: add object_get_canonical_basename()
rfifolock: add recursive FIFO lock
aio: add aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release()
iothread: add I/O thread object
iothread: add "iothread" qdev property type
dataplane: replace internal thread with IOThread
