Hi, This is the v7 of the patch-series to have a generic asynchronous task offloading framework (called threadlets) within qemu.
Request to consider pulling this series as discussed during the Qemu-devel call. V6 can be found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg44344.html Changes from v6: * Chaged name cancel_threadletwork to deque_threadletwork to avoid possible confusion (suggested by Balbir). * Fixed the logic in deque_threadletwork_on_queue. * Modified submit_threadletwork_to_queue() to avoid spurious cond_signal. * Removed the unnecessary check for acb->active in paio_cancel() --- Aneesh Kumar K.V (1): Introduce threadlets Gautham R Shenoy (2): Make paio subsystem use threadlets Add helper functions to enable virtio-9p make use of the threadlets Makefile.objs | 3 - docs/async-support.txt | 141 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ hw/virtio-9p.c | 168 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ posix-aio-compat.c | 200 ++++++++++-------------------------------------- qemu-threadlets.c | 188 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ qemu-threadlets.h | 49 ++++++++++++ vl.c | 3 + 7 files changed, 593 insertions(+), 159 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/async-support.txt create mode 100644 qemu-threadlets.c create mode 100644 qemu-threadlets.h -- arun
