2009-05-08fix asynchronous ioctlsChristoph Hellwig1-1/+10
posix_aio_read expect aio requests to return the number of bytes requests to be successfull, so we need to fake this up for ioctls. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-04-07native preadv/pwritev support (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori1-2/+83
This ties up the preadv/pwritev syscalls to qemu if they are declared in unistd.h. This is the case currently on at least NetBSD and OpenBSD and will hopefully soon be the case on Linux. Thanks to Blue Swirl and Gerd Hoffmann for the configure autodetection of preadv/pwritev.

2009-04-07push down vector linearization to posix-aio-compat.c (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori1-26/+92
Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev. Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread. Qcow and qcow2 propably want to be adopted to directly deal with multi-segment requests, but that can be implemented later.

2009-03-28new scsi-generic abstraction, use SG_IO (Christoph Hellwig)aliguori1-34/+66
Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the new world order. I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an example. Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple. Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough on a non-Linux OS. Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest to a host CDROM device.

2009-02-21Properly handle pthread_cond_timedwait timing outmalc1-1/+1
pthread_cond_timedwait is allowed to both consume the signal and return with the value indicating the timeout, hence predicate should always be (re)checked before taking an action git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6634 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

2009-02-21Avoid thundering herd problemmalc1-4/+4
Broadcast was used so that the I/O threads would wakeup, reset their ts values and all but one go to sleep, in other words an optimization to prevent threads from exiting in presence of continuing I/O activity. Spurious wakeups make the looping around cond_timedwait with ever reinitialized ts potentially unsafe and as such ts in no longer reinitilized inside the loop, hence switch to signal is warranted and this benefits of this particlaur optimization are lost. (It's worth noting that timed variants of pthread calls use realtime clock by default, and therefore can hang "forever" should the host time be changed. Unfortunatelly not all host systems QEMU runs on support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and/or pthread_condattr_setclock with this value) git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6632 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

2009-01-13Fix race in POSIX AIO emulation (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-7/+2
When we cancel an AIO request that is already being processed by aio_thread, qemu_paio_cancel should return QEMU_PAIO_NOTCANCELED as long as aio_thread isn't done with this request. But as the latter currently updates aiocb->ret after every block of the request, we may report QEMU_PAIO_ALLDONE too early. Futhermore, in case some zero-length request should have been queued, aiocb->ret is never set to != -EINPROGRESS and callers like raw_aio_cancel could get stuck in an endless loop. Fix those issues by updating aiocb->ret _after_ the request has been fully processed. This also simplifies the locking.

2008-12-12Replace posix-aio with custom thread poolaliguori1-0/+202
glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations. 1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing file descriptors which is hideously ugly 2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write operation to properly support a zero-copy API. What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization. This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though. This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads. It immediately eliminates the need for fd pooling. It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some circumstances, even better).
