Subject: [PATCH v5 11/12] aio-posix: add aio_add_sqe() API for user-defined io_uring requests
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:34:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029203411.445852-12-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029203411.445852-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

Introduce the aio_add_sqe() API for submitting io_uring requests in the
current AioContext. This allows other components in QEMU, like the block
layer, to take advantage of io_uring features without creating their own
io_uring context.

This API supports nested event loops just like file descriptor
monitoring and BHs do. This comes at a complexity cost: CQE callbacks
must be placed on a list so that nested event loops can invoke pending
CQE callbacks from parent event loops. If you're wondering why
CqeHandler exists instead of just a callback function pointer, this is
why.

v5:
- Replace cqe_handler_bh with FDMonOps->dispatch() [Kevin]
- Rename AioHandler->cqe_handler field to ->internal_cqe_handler [Kevin]
- Consolidate fdmon-io_uring.c trace-events changes into this commit
v2:
- Fix pre_sqe -> prep_sqe typo [Eric]
- Add #endif terminator comment [Eric]
