[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] v12: Threadlets: A generic task offloading framework.

[Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,

This is the v12 of the refactored patch-series to have a generic
asynchronous task offloading framework (called threadlets)
within qemu.

I have run KVM autotest suite with this patch. This test suite
ran successfully for the following tests:
        -connecthon
        -ebizzy
        -dbench
        -fsstress
        -disktest
        -cpu_hotplug
        -hackbench
        -sleeptest

Changelog:

* Refactored the code in the following manner as asked by Anthony:
* Earlier Patch1 has been broken down into 4 patches:
        1) Make the necessary confiugation and Makefile changes.
        2) Move paio_cancel to new infrastructure and introduce
           only those APIs needed for this.
        3) Move paio_submit to new infrastructure and introduce
           only those APIs needed for this.
        4) Clean up posix-aio.compat.c off all the old code.

The following series implements...
