Subject: [PULL 02/27] io: separate freeing of tasks from marking them as complete
Date: Thu,  5 Mar 2026 17:47:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305174743.3084606-3-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305174743.3084606-1-berrange@redhat.com>

The original design of QIOTask was intended to simplify lifecycle
management by automatically freeing it when the task was marked as
complete. This overlooked the fact that when a QIOTask is used in
combination with a GSource, there may be times when the source
callback is never invoked. This is typically when a GSource is
released before any I/O event arrives. In such cases it is not
desirable to mark a QIOTask as complete, but it still needs to be
freed. To satisfy this, the task must be released manually.
