[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3]: v7: Threadlets: A generic task offloading framework.

[Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

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()
