[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] chardev: convert leftover glib APIs to use dedicate gcontext

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

v2:
- add r-bs
- fix patch 3 on some s->ms conversion [Marc-André]

There were existing work that tried to allow chardev to be run in a
dedicated gcontext rather than the default main context/thread.
Basically that work passed in the correct gcontext during
g_source_attach().  However, I found something missing along the way,
that some legacy glib APIs are used by chardev code which take the
main context as default:

   g_timeout_add_seconds
   g_timeout_add
   g_idle_add

To fully allow the chardevs to be run in dedicated gcontext, we need
to convert all these legacy APIs into g_source_attach() calls as well,
with the correct gcontext passed in.

This series tries to clean the rest of things up.

I picked up patch 1 from monitor-oob series into this series (which is
a missing of chardev frontend call fix for g_source_attach()), so that
this series can be a complete fix.

Please review.  Thanks,

Peter Xu (3):
  chardev: use backend chr context when watch for fe
  chardev: let g_idle_add() be with chardev gcontext
  chardev: introduce qemu_chr_timeout_add() and use
