Subject: [PATCH V9 16/17] iothread: simplify API by merging iothread_get_aio_context variants
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:08:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624070851.13342-17-zhangckid@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624070851.13342-1-zhangckid@gmail.com>
Simplify the interface by merging iothread_ref_and_get_aio_context()
into iothread_get_aio_context(). The updated function now requires a
'holder' parameter, ensuring that every retrieval of an AioContext for
long-term use is automatically registered in the IOThread's holder list.
Update all callers across block, virtio, scsi, net, and monitor
subsystems to match the new signature. This cleanup reduces code
redundancy and improves the reliability of IOThread introspection.
