      aio: drop io_flush argument · f2e5dca4
      Stefan Hajnoczi authored 
      
The .io_flush() handler no longer exists and has no users.  Drop the
io_flush argument to aio_set_fd_handler() and related functions.

The AioFlushEventNotifierHandler and AioFlushHandler typedefs are no
longer used and are dropped too.

      aio: stop using .io_flush() · 164a101f
      Stefan Hajnoczi authored 
      
Now that aio_poll() users check their termination condition themselves,
it is no longer necessary to call .io_flush() handlers.

The behavior of aio_poll() changes as follows:

1. .io_flush() is no longer invoked and file descriptors are *always*
monitored.  Previously returning 0 from .io_flush() would skip this file
descriptor.

Due to this change it is essential to check that requests are pending
before calling qemu_aio_wait().  Failure to do so means we block, for
example, waiting for an idle iSCSI socket to become readable when there
are no requests.  Currently all qemu_aio_wait()/aio_poll() callers check
before calling.

2. aio_poll() now returns true if progress was made (BH or fd handlers
executed) and false otherwise.  Previously it would return true whenever
'busy', which means that .io_flush() returned true.  The 'busy' concept
no longer exists so just progress is returned.

Due to this change we need to update tests/test-aio.c which asserts
aio_poll() return values.  Note that QEMU doesn't actually rely on these
return values so only tests/test-aio.c cares.

Note that ctx->notifier, the EventNotifier fd used for aio_notify(), is
now handled as a special case.  This is a little ugly but maintains
aio_poll() semantics, i.e. aio_notify() does not count as 'progress' and
aio_poll() avoids blocking when the user has not set any fd handlers yet.

Patches after this remove .io_flush() handler code until we can finally
drop the io_flush arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and friends.

      aio: Fix return value of aio_poll() · 2ea9b58f
      Kevin Wolf authored 
      
aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it
didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too
early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed
assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
and the function didn't really drain all requests.

In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the
function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the
return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so
this change shouldn't cause any trouble.

      Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good · 72cf2d4f
      Blue Swirl authored 
      
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc9235,
f40d7537,
96555a96 and
3990d09a but the fixes were fragile.

Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

      AIO deletion race fix · 79d5ca56
      Alexander Graf authored 
      
When deleting an fd event there is a chance the object doesn't get
deleted, but only ->deleted set positive and deleted somewhere later.

Now, if we create a handler for the fd again before the actual
deletion occurs, we end up writing data into an object that has
->deleted set, which is obviously wrong.

I see two ways to fix this:

1. Don't return ->deleted objects in the search
2. Unset ->deleted in the search

This patch implements 1. which feels safer to do. It fixes AIO issues
I've seen with curl, as libcurl unsets fd event listeners pretty
frequently.

      Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementations · a76bab49
      Anthony Liguori authored 
      
This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations.  It's
only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.  

Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
support registration.  This patch introduces a new function,
qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
called back.  qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
with this function until one becomes readable or writable.

This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
(like NBD).
