[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 04/37] Trigger exit from cpu_exec_all on pending IO events

[Marcelo Tosatti]

From: Jan Kiszka <address@hidden>

Except for timer events, we currently do not leave the loop over all
VCPUs if an IO event was filed. That may cause unexpected IO latencies
under !CONFIG_IOTHREAD in SMP scenarios. Fix it by setting the global
exit_request which breaks the loop.
