Subject: [PATCH V15 05/14] monitor: track IOThread users with QOM paths
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 14:37:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907063725.626685-6-zhangckid@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907063725.626685-1-zhangckid@gmail.com>
Monitors that require an IOThread share the internal mon_iothread.
Account for each monitor explicitly in IOThread holder tracking, using
the monitor's canonical QOM path to distinguish holders.
Acquire the shared monitor IOThread AioContext once and store the
IOThread and canonical QOM path so the holder can be released after the
monitor has been removed from the QOM tree. Reuse the stored context for
later operations.
Release the holder from monitor_finalize(), after resources associated
with the AioContext have been destroyed. This pairs the reference taken
in complete() with instance finalization and keeps the IOThread alive
throughout monitor teardown.
The internal mon_iothread remains hidden from query-iothreads, as before.
Management applications therefore cannot use it to determine which
monitors are using the IOThread. Nevertheless, track the monitor
holders so that they follow the same explicit holder and
IOThread reference lifecycle as other AioContext users.
