[Qemu-devel] [PULL 02/15] cpus: run work items for all vCPUs if single-threaded

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

This avoids the following I/O thread deadlock:

1) the I/O thread calls run_on_cpu for CPU 3 from a timer.  single_tcg_halt_cond
is signaled

2) CPU 1 is running and exits.  It finds no work item and enters CPU 2

3) because the I/O thread is stuck in run_on_cpu, the round-robin kick
timer never triggers, and CPU 3 never runs the work item

4) run_on_cpu never completes
