2009-03-28Fix DMA API when handling an immediate error from block layer (Avi Kivity)aliguori
The block layer may signal an immediate error on an asynchronous request by returning NULL. The DMA API did not handle this correctly, returning an AIO request which would never complete (and which would crash if cancelled). Fix by detecting the failure and propagating it.

2009-03-20Move block dma helpers aiocb to store dma state (Avi Kivity)aliguori
Use the dedicated dma aiocb to store intermediate state for dma block transactions. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6874 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
2009-03-20Implement cancellation method for dma async I/O (Avi Kivity)aliguori
Move the dma helpers to a private aio pool, and implement a cancellation method for them. Should prevent issues when cancelling I/O while dma is in progress.

2009-02-05Introduce block dma helpers (Avi Kivity)aliguori
These helpers perform read/write requests on entire scatter/gather lists, relieving the device emulation code from mapping and unmapping physical memory, and from looping when map resources are exhausted.

2009-02-05Add a scatter-gather list type and accessors (Avi Kivity)aliguori
Scatter-gather lists are used extensively in dma-capable devices; a single data structure allows more code reuse later on.
