* async: aio_context_new(): Handle event_notifier_init failureChrysostomos Nanakos2014-09-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any error information to the user. The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit. The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of open files. This commit adds an error message on failure: # qemu [...] -object iothread,id=iothread0 -object iothread,id=iothread1 qemu: Failed to initialize event notifier: Too many open files in system Signed-off-by: Chrysostomos Nanakos <cnanakos@grnet.gr> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

* block: Add bdrv_aio_cancel_asyncFam Zheng2014-09-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the async version of bdrv_aio_cancel, which doesn't block the caller. It guarantees that the cb is called either before returning or some time later. bdrv_aio_cancel can base on bdrv_aio_cancel_async, later we can convert all .io_cancel implementations to .io_cancel_async, and the aio_poll is the common logic. In the end, .io_cancel can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

* aio-win32: add support for socketsPaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-2/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uses the same select/WSAEventSelect scheme as main-loop.c. WSAEventSelect() is edge-triggered, so it cannot be used directly, but it is still used as a way to exit from a blocking g_poll(). Before g_poll() is called, we poll sockets with a non-blocking select() to achieve the level-triggered semantics we require: if a socket is ready, the g_poll() is made non-blocking too. Based on a patch from Or Goshen. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
* AioContext: introduce aio_preparePaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This will be used to implement socket polling on Windows. On Windows, select() and g_poll() are completely different; sockets are polled with select() before calling g_poll, and the g_poll must be nonblocking if select() says a socket is ready.

* AioContext: export and use aio_dispatchPaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, aio_poll's scheme was dispatch/poll/dispatch, where the first dispatch phase was used only in the GSource case in order to avoid a blocking poll. Earlier patches changed it to dispatch/prepare/poll/dispatch, where prepare is aio_compute_timeout. By making aio_dispatch public, we can remove the first dispatch phase altogether, so that both aio_poll and the GSource use the same prepare/poll/dispatch scheme. This patch breaks the invariant that aio_poll(..., true) will not block the first time it returns false. This used to be fundamental for qemu_aio_flush's implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}" but no code in QEMU relies on this invariant anymore. The return value of aio_poll() is now comparable with that of g_main_context_iteration. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
* AioContext: take bottom halves into account when computing aio_poll timeoutPaolo Bonzini2014-08-291-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, QEMU invokes aio_bh_poll before the "poll" phase of aio_poll. It is simpler to do it afterwards and skip the "poll" phase altogether when the OS-dependent parts of AioContext are invoked from GSource. This way, AioContext behaves more similarly when used as a GSource vs. when used as stand-alone. As a start, take bottom halves into account when computing the poll timeout. If a bottom half is ready, do a non-blocking poll. As a side effect, this makes idle bottom halves work with aio_poll; an improvement, but not really an important one since they are deprecated.

* AioContext: do not rely on aio_poll(ctx, true) result to end a loopPaolo Bonzini2014-07-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true) will not block. This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently; and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration. All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however: - we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll, similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait - it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext is released between an aio_notify and the next time the iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping the dataplane thread. In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c, which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.

* AioContext: speed up aio_notifyPaolo Bonzini2014-07-091-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many cases, the call to event_notifier_set in aio_notify is unnecessary. In particular, if we are executing aio_dispatch, or if aio_poll is not blocking, we know that we will soon get to the next loop iteration (if necessary); the thread that hosts the AioContext's event loop does not need any nudging. The patch includes a Promela formal model that shows that this really works and does not need any further complication such as generation counts. It needs a memory barrier though. The generation counts are not needed because any change to ctx->dispatching after the memory barrier is okay for aio_notify. If it changes from zero to one, it is the right thing to skip event_notifier_set. If it changes from one to zero, the event_notifier_set is unnecessary but harmless.

* aio: add aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release()Stefan Hajnoczi2014-03-131-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be useful to run an AioContext from a thread which normally does not "own" the AioContext. For example, request draining can be implemented by acquiring the AioContext and looping aio_poll() until all requests have been completed. The following pattern should work: /* Event loop thread */ while (running) { aio_context_acquire(ctx); aio_poll(ctx, true); aio_context_release(ctx); } /* Another thread */ aio_context_acquire(ctx); bdrv_read(bs, 0x1000, buf, 1); aio_context_release(ctx); This patch implements aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release(). Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

* aio: add a ThreadPool instance to AioContextStefan Hajnoczi2013-03-151-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a ThreadPool to AioContext. It's possible that some AioContext instances will never use the ThreadPool, so defer creation until aio_get_thread_pool(). The reason why AioContext should have the ThreadPool is because the ThreadPool is bound to a AioContext instance where the work item's callback function is invoked. It doesn't make sense to keep the ThreadPool pointer anywhere other than AioContext. For example, block/raw-posix.c can get its AioContext's ThreadPool and submit work. Special note about headers: I used struct ThreadPool in aio.h because there is a circular dependency if aio.h includes thread-pool.h.

* aio: Fix return value of aio_poll()Kevin Wolf2013-01-171-4/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed and the function didn't really drain all requests. In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so this change shouldn't cause any trouble.
