If you require the user to provide the scope, this could be:
@@ -258,12 +254,12 @@ BlockAIOCB *thread_pool_submit_aio(ThreadPool *pool,
trace_thread_pool_submit(pool, req, arg);
- qemu_mutex_lock(&pool->lock);
- if (pool->idle_threads == 0 && pool->cur_threads < pool->max_threads) {
- spawn_thread(pool);
- QTAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&pool->request_list, req, reqs);
+ {
+ QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(QemuMutex, pool_guard, &pool->lock);
+ if (pool->idle_threads == 0 && pool->cur_threads <
pool->max_threads) {
+ spawn_thread(pool);
+ }
+ QTAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&pool->request_list, req, reqs);
}
- qemu_mutex_unlock(&pool->lock);
qemu_sem_post(&pool->sem);
return &req->common;
}
In other words, I don't see what 'QEMU_WITH_LOCK_GUARD() {}' buys us
over '{ QEMU_LOCK_GUARD() }'.
