Subject: [RFC 08/11] aio-posix: gracefully handle io_uring_queue_init() failure
Date: Wed, 28 May 2025 15:09:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250528190916.35864-9-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250528190916.35864-1-stefanha@redhat.com>
io_uring may not be available at runtime due to system policies (e.g.
the io_uring_disabled sysctl) or creation could fail due to file
descriptor resource limits.
Handle failure scenarios as follows:
If another AioContext already has io_uring, then fail AioContext
creation so that the aio_add_sqe() API is available uniformly from all
QEMU threads. Otherwise fall back to epoll(7) if io_uring is
unavailable.
Notes:
- Update the comment about selecting the fastest fdmon implementation.
At this point it's not about speed anymore, it's about aio_add_sqe()
API availability.
- Uppercase the error message when converting from error_report() to
error_setg_errno() for consistency (but there are instances of
lowercase in the codebase).
- It's easier to move the #ifdefs from aio-posix.h to aio-posix.c.
