2016-02-04all: Clean up includesPeter Maydell1-0/+1
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers which it implies are not included manually. This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes. Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Message-id: 1454089805-5470-16-git-send-email-peter.maydell@linaro.org
2015-12-03iothread: include id in thread namePaolo Bonzini1-1/+6
This makes it easier to find the desired thread. Use "IO" plus the id; even with the 14 character limit on the thread name, enough of the id should be readable (e.g. "IO iothreadNNN" with three characters for the number).

2015-06-12Revert "iothread: release iothread around aio_poll"Stefan Hajnoczi1-2/+9
This reverts commit a0710f7995f914e3044e5899bd8ff6c43c62f916. In qemu-devel email message <556DBF87.2020908@de.ibm.com>, Christian Borntraeger writes: Having many guests all with a kernel/ramdisk (via -kernel) and several null block devices will result in hangs. All hanging guests are in partition detection code waiting for an I/O to return so very early maybe even the first I/O. Reverting that commit "fixes" the hangs. Reverting this commit for the 2.4 release. More time is needed to investigate and correct this patch.

2015-04-28iothread: release iothread around aio_pollPaolo Bonzini1-9/+2
This is the first step towards having fine-grained critical sections in dataplane threads, which resolves lock ordering problems between address_space_* functions (which need the BQL when doing MMIO, even after we complete RCU-based dispatch) and the AioContext. Because AioContext does not use contention callbacks anymore, the unit test has to be changed.

2014-09-22async: aio_context_new(): Handle event_notifier_init failureChrysostomos Nanakos1-1/+10
On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any error information to the user. The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit. The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of open files. This commit adds an error message on failure: # qemu [...] -object iothread,id=iothread0 -object iothread,id=iothread1 qemu: Failed to initialize event notifier: Too many open files in system Signed-off-by: Chrysostomos Nanakos <cnanakos@grnet.gr> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2014-07-14AioContext: do not rely on aio_poll(ctx, true) result to end a loopPaolo Bonzini1-1/+4
Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true) will not block. This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently; and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration. All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however: - we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll, similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait - it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext is released between an aio_notify and the next time the iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping the dataplane thread. In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c, which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.

2014-03-13iothread: stash thread ID awayStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+22
Keep the thread ID around so we can report it via QMP. There's only one problem: qemu_get_thread_id() (gettid() wrapper on Linux) must be called from the thread itself. There is no way to get the thread ID outside the thread. This patch uses a condvar to wait for iothread_run() to populate the thread_id inside the thread.

2014-03-13iothread: add I/O thread objectStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+120
This is a stand-in for Michael Roth's QContext. I expect this to be replaced once QContext is completed. The IOThread object is an AioContext event loop thread. This patch adds the concept of multiple event loop threads, allowing users to define them. When SMP guests run on SMP hosts it makes sense to instantiate multiple IOThreads. This spreads event loop processing across multiple cores. Note that additional patches are required to actually bind a device to an IOThread. [Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de> pointed out that the embedded parent object instance should be called "parent_obj" and have a newline afterwards. This patch has been changed to reflect this. -- Stefan] Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
