Subject: [PATCH v4 14/35] monitor: use class method for I/O thread request
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:55:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623095551.2106712-15-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623095551.2106712-1-berrange@redhat.com>
Introducing a virtual "requires_iothread" method allows the code to
automatically initialize the I/O thread during object completion.
