This is a stand-in for Michael Roth's QContext. I expect this to be replaced once QContext is completed. The IOThread object is an AioContext event loop thread. This patch adds the concept of multiple event loop threads, allowing users to define them. When SMP guests run on SMP hosts it makes sense to instantiate multiple IOThreads. This spreads event loop processing across multiple cores. Note that additional patches are required to actually bind a device to an IOThread. [Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de> pointed out that the embedded parent object instance should be called "parent_obj" and have a newline afterwards. This patch has been changed to reflect this. -- Stefan] Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> --- Makefile.objs | 1 + include/sysemu/iothread.h | 30 ++++++++++++ iothread.c | 120 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 151 insertions(+) create mode 100644 include/sysemu/iothread.h create mode 100644 iothread.c
