[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Resend: fixes for io-thread

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Resend: fixes for io-thread

[Glauber Costa]

I am resending those two fixes, needed for kvm to run with our
current io-thread.

Anthony, please apply them. It will lead us to a much better shape.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] unlock iothread mutex before running kvm ioctl

[Glauber Costa]

From: Glauber Costa <glommer@mothafucka.localdomain>

Without this, kvm will hold the mutex while it issues its run ioctl,
and never be able to step out of it, causing a deadlock.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] do proper cpu_self check

[Glauber Costa]

From: Glauber Costa <glommer@mothafucka.localdomain>

Currently, our check for qemu_cpu_self only checks if there is a cpu
currently in execution (represented by cpu_single_env being set). While
this might be okay for tcg, it is certainly not okay for kvm, since multiple
cpus might be executing.

Instead, I propose we use pthread primitives to test if the caller thread is
the same as env->thread.

For tcg, it will have the same semantics as before, since all CPUStates will
point to the same thread, and we'll only have one in execution at a time.

Breaks the build when !CONFIG_IOTHREAD and needs a new SoB.
