[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/12] Portable thread-pool/AIO, Win32 emulated AIO

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

This patch series is part 2 in my EventNotifier/AIO improvements
for QEMU 1.2.  It extends use of EventNotifier to the main loop
and AIO subsystems.  A new API using EventNotifier is added to aio.c
and a new portable thread pool is introduced (based on code from
posix-aio-compat.c, mostly) that uses this API.  raw-posix.c is
converted to use the new thread pool, and support for asynchronous
I/O is finally added to Win32 as well.

The network drivers (curl, libiscsi, nbd) have to be disabled
under Windows.

I tested this under Wine, with a RHEL virtual machine booting just as
glacially as before.  However, "info blockstats" does show a slightly
higher overhead, so I would like this to be tested on real Windows hosts.
However, even if the result is negative, I would prefer to keep the early
parts (i.e. drop only the last patch) since they are a prerequisite for
more improvements to block/raw-posix.c (such as asynchronous discard
support).


Paolo Bonzini (12):
  event_notifier: enable it to use pipes
  event_notifier: add Win32 implementation
  main-loop: use event notifiers
  aio: provide platform-independent API
  aio: add Win32 implementation
  linux-aio: use event notifiers
  qemu-thread: add QemuSemaphore
  aio: add generic thread-pool facility
  block: switch posix-aio-compat to threadpool
  raw: merge posix-aio-compat.c into block/raw-posix.c
  raw-posix: rename raw-posix-aio.h, hide unavailable prototypes
  raw-win32: add emulated AIO support
