Hi,
This series implements threadlets infrastructure:
Changelog:
* Changed the name aio_thread to handle_work.
* Corrected the usage of aiocb->ret which has to be
accessed under aiocb_mutex.
* Merged the patche which add dequeue_work with the patch
which removes the unused active field in paio structure
so that the logic of paio_cancel is not broken.
Here are the details regarding the testing that has been
carried out on the patchset:
* kvm-autotest run with guest running fedora 14. The following
tests were run successfully: disktest, bonnie, fsstress, blast,
ffsb.
* bonnie test run on fedora guest on block device.
* iozone -l test run on fedora guest to stress the posix-aio-compat.c
code. (suggested by Stefan)
* windows guest installation test and iozone -l test run on windows
guest.
The following series implements...
---

This patch adds the aiocb_mutex to protect aiocb.
This patch also removes the infinite loop present in paio_cancel.
Since there can only be one cancellation at a time, we need to
introduce a condition variable. For this, we need a
global aiocb_completion condition variable.
This patch also adds the Makefile entry to compile qemu-thread.c
when CONFIG_POSIX is set, instead of the unused CONFIG_THREAD.

This patch adds a global queue of type ThreadletQueue and
removes the earlier usage of request_list queue.
We want to create the thread on the first submit. Hence we
need to track whether the globalqueue is initialized or not.

This patch adds dequeue_work threadlet API and shows how
the paio_cancel changes to dequeue_work.
The active field in the qemu_aiocb structure is now useless.
Remove it.

This patch adds aio_signal_handler threadlet API. Earler
posix-aio-compat.c had its own signal handler code. Now
abstract this, in the later patch it is moved to a generic
code so that it can be used by other subsystems.

+== How to use the threadlets infrastructure supported in Qemu ==
+
+== Threadlets ==
+
+Q.1: What are threadlets ?
+A.1: Threadlets is an infrastructure within QEMU that allows other subsystems
+ to offload possibly blocking work to a queue to be processed by a pool
+ of threads asynchronously.
+
+Q.2: When would one want to use threadlets ?
+A.2: Threadlets are useful when there are operations that can be performed
+ outside the context of the VCPU/IO threads inorder to free these latter
+ to service any other guest requests.
+
+Q.3: I have some work that can be executed in an asynchronous context. How
+ should I go about it ?
+A.3: One could follow the steps listed below:
+
+ - Define a function which would do the asynchronous work.
+ static void my_threadlet_func(ThreadletWork *work)
+ {
+ }
+
+ - Declare an object of type ThreadletWork;
+ ThreadletWork work;
+
+
+ - Assign a value to the "func" member of ThreadletWork object.
+ work.func = my_threadlet_func;
+
+ - Submit the threadlet to the global queue.
+ submit_threadletwork(&work);
+
+ - Continue servicing some other guest operations.
+
+Q.4: I want to my_threadlet_func to access some non-global data. How do I do
+ that ?
+A.4: Suppose you want my_threadlet_func to access some non-global data-object
+ of type myPrivateData. In that case one could follow the following steps.
+
+ - Define a member of the type ThreadletWork within myPrivateData.
+ typedef struct MyPrivateData {
+ ...;
+ ...;
+ ...;
+ ThreadletWork work;
+ } MyPrivateData;
+
+ MyPrivateData my_data;
+
+ - Initialize myData.work as described in A.3
+ myData.work.func = my_threadlet_func;
+ submit_threadletwork(&myData.work);
+
+ - Access the myData object inside my_threadlet_func() using container_of
+ primitive
+ static void my_threadlet_func(ThreadletWork *work)
+ {
+ myPrivateData *mydata_ptr;
+ mydata_ptr = container_of(work, myPrivateData, work);
+
+ /* mydata_ptr now points to myData object */
+ }
+
+Q.5: Are there any precautions one must take while sharing data with the
+ Asynchronous thread-pool ?
+A.5: Yes, make sure that the helper function of the type my_threadlet_func()
+ does not access/modify data when it can be accessed or modified in the
+ context of VCPU thread or IO thread. This is because the asynchronous
+ threads in the pool can run in parallel with the VCPU/IOThreads as shown
+ in the figure.
+
+ A typical workflow is as follows:
+
+ VCPU/IOThread
+ |
+ | (1)
+ |
+ V
+ Offload work (2)
+ |-------> to threadlets -----------------------------> Helper thread
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | (3) | (4)
+ | | |
+ | Handle other Guest requests |
+ | | |
+ | | V
+ | | (3) Signal the I/O Thread
+ |(6) | |
+ | | /
+ | | /
+ | V /
+ | Do the post <---------------------------------/
+ | processing (5)
+ | |
+ | | (6)
+ | V
+ |-Yes------ More async work?
+ |
+ | (7)
+ No
+ |
+ |
+ .
+ .
+
+ Hence one needs to make sure that in the steps (3) and (4) which run in
+ parallel, any global data is accessed within only one context.
+
+Q.6: I have queued a threadlet which I want to cancel. How do I do that ?
+A.6: Threadlets framework provides the API cancel_threadlet:
+ - int cancel_threadletwork(ThreadletWork *work)
+
+ The API scans the ThreadletQueue to see if (work) is present. If it finds
+ work, it'll dequeue work and return 0.
+
+ On the other hand, if it does not find the (work) in the ThreadletQueue,
+ then it'll return 1. This can imply two things. Either the work is being
+ processed by one of the helper threads or it has been processed. The
+ threadlet infrastructure currently _does_not_ distinguish between these
+ two and the onus is on the caller to do that.
+
+Q.7: Apart from the global pool of threads, can I have my own private Queue ?
+A.7: Yes, the threadlets framework allows subsystems to create their own private
+ queues with associated pools of threads.
+
+ - Define a PrivateQueue
+ ThreadletQueue myQueue;
+
+ - Initialize it:
+ threadlet_queue_init(&myQueue, my_max_threads, my_min_threads);
+ where my_max_threads is the maximum number of threads that can be in the
+ thread pool and my_min_threads is the minimum number of active threads
+ that can be in the thread-pool.
+
+ - Submit work:
+ submit_threadletwork_to_queue(&myQueue, &my_work);
+
+ - Cancel work:
+ cancel_threadletwork_on_queue(&myQueue, &my_work);

This would be the right place to create qemu-threadlet.c, instead of
adding the thread_init() prototype to qemu-thread.h and then including
that in vl.c.

qemu-threadlet.c would be consistent with qemu-thread.c (not qemu-threads.c).

This series needs a new pair of eyes for review. I'm probably missing
things here after seeing it many times.
posix-aio-compat.c:handle_work() doesn't need to take aiocb_mutex for
container_of(), which just calculates an address but doesn't actually
access the aiocb.
dequeue_work_on_queue() is incorrect because a threadlet_worker() may
remove the work item from the request_list just before we remove it
again. That double-remove is wrong and by not detecting this case we
return success even though the work function may be running
concurrently (and it's not safe to do anything with the work item at
this time!). Dequeue needs to lock the request_list, test if the item
is still
on the list, remove it if necessary, and return whether or not it was removed.

We need both qemu-threadlet.c and qemu-threadlet.h.

I'll make the above changes with respect to handle_work() and
dequeue_work_on_queue().
Hopefully the patch series gets more review now that I have broken
down the patchset so that review becomes easier.

I did not follow your comment here. How can we avoid including
threadler_init() in vl.c?

Instead of adding threadlet_init() and related functions to
posix-aio-compat.c and adding the prototype to qemu-thread.h, why not
just create qemu-threadlet.c/qemu-threadlet.h and put these functions
there instead?

Got it. So you mean I merge patch 8 and patch 10 into a single patch.
But wouldn't this mean we are moving code and adding new API in the
same patch? Anthony did not want this from what I recall. But I can do
it if you feel it makes things simple.

I don't think you need to merge the patches. It's odd to add
functions to posix-aio-compat.c but put the prototype in qemu-thread.h
(and then include and call from vl.c). So for these three functions
(threadlet_init, threadlet_register_signal_handler, and
threadlet_io_completion_signal_handler) only I think it makes sense to
move them to qemu-threadlet.[ch] straight away.
It's not the end of the world if you don't want to do that. It just
jumped out at me when reading and I had to remember that it'll get
fixed up later.

So basically create the new file qemu-threadlet.[ch] with only these functions
and move the rest of the code in patch 10(as we do now).

Yes; as things are settling down towards the end of this series; I guess it is
OK if you decide
not to alter the sequence of the patches and avoid merges.
