[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] Make paio subsystem use threadlets infrastructu


From: Arun R Bharadwaj
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] Make paio subsystem use threadlets infrastructure
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 20:03:22 +0530
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14)

* Arun R Bharadwaj <address@hidden> [2010-11-08 16:16:50]:

Make paio subsystem use threadlets infrastructure

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <address@hidden>

This patch creates a generic asynchronous-task-offloading infrastructure named
threadlets.

The patch creates a global queue on-to which subsystems can queue their tasks to
be executed asynchronously.

The patch also provides API's that allow a subsystem to create a private queue
with an associated pool of threads.

The patch has been tested with fstress.
