Yesterday, i tried this. To be honest, i do not like this solution.:).
It results in the code logic to be a bit messy, not clear.
A AIOCB struct is treated as a block request and enqueued into block
queue. It is a bit weird. So i would like to retain BlockIORequest and
define BlockQueueAIOCB pool. This struct is used to store some useful
info:
struct BlockQueueAIOCB {
BlockDriverAIOCB common;
bool dispatched;
BlockDriverAIOCB *real_acb;
BlockIORequest *request;
};
What do you think of this?
