[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 7/7] coroutine: try harder not to delete coroutines

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de>

Placing coroutines on the global pool should be preferrable, because it
can help all threads.  But if the global pool is full, we can still
try to save some allocations by stashing completed coroutines on the
local pool.  This is quite cheap too, because it does not require
atomic operations, and provides a gain of 15% in the best case.
