This series aims at improving the Vhost FD manager. The fdset internals is hidden from its callers, the notification/synchronization is made systematic for every FD add/del operations and finally the code is reworked to make use of epoll insteal of poll which reduces the complexity (less locks involved, synchrnoization no more necessary).
The series has been tested with both Vhost-user/Virtio-user and with VDUSE. Changes in v4: ============== - Remove useless parameter check (Stephen) - Error handling in dset_add (Chenbo) - Destroy support fixup in even dispatcher (Chenbo) - Refactor fdentry insertion/removal - Rebased on top of next-virtio/staging David Marchand (1): vhost: manage FD with epoll Maxime Coquelin (4): vhost: rename polling mutex vhost: make use of FD manager init function vhost: hide synchronization within FD manager vhost: improve fdset initialization lib/vhost/fd_man.c | 456 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- lib/vhost/fd_man.h | 48 +---- lib/vhost/socket.c | 38 +--- lib/vhost/vduse.c | 52 ++---- 4 files changed, 252 insertions(+), 342 deletions(-) -- 2.45.1
