'a == b ? false : true' is a rather convoluted way of writing 'a != b'.

The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until
empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour
doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of
creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's
'-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread
has been measured take multiple milliseconds.
In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase'
property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during
the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain
available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon
freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to
configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.

Introduce the 'event-loop-base' abstract class, it'll hold the
properties common to all event loops and provide the necessary hooks for
their creation and maintenance. Then have iothread inherit from it.
EventLoopBaseClass is defined as user creatable and provides a hook for
its children to attach themselves to the user creatable class 'complete'
function. It also provides an update_params() callback to propagate
property changes onto its children.
The new 'event-loop-base' class will live in the root directory. It is
built on its own using the 'link_whole' option (there are no direct
function dependencies between the class and its children, it all happens
trough 'constructor' magic). And also imposes new compilation
dependencies:
qom <- event-loop-base <- blockdev (iothread.c)
And in subsequent patches:
qom <- event-loop-base <- qemuutil (util/main-loop.c)
All this forced some amount of reordering in meson.build:
- Moved qom build definition before qemuutil. Doing it the other way
around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of
core libraries that live in between the two depend on it.
- Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the
'qom' source set.
No functional changes intended.

Commit 0445409d74 ("iothread: generalize
iothread_set_param/iothread_get_param") moved common code to set and
get IOThread parameters in two new functions.
These functions are called inside callbacks, so we don't need to use an
opaque pointer. Let's replace `void *opaque` parameter with
`IOThreadParamInfo *info`.

The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines
and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests.
When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,
the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel.
This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO
engine queue.
If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will
use its default maximum batch size value.

If we want to wake up a coroutine from a worker thread, aio_co_wake()
currently does not work. In that scenario, aio_co_wake() calls
aio_co_enter(), but there is no current AioContext and therefore
qemu_get_current_aio_context() returns the main thread. aio_co_wake()
then attempts to call aio_context_acquire() instead of going through
aio_co_schedule().
The default case of qemu_get_current_aio_context() was added to cover
synchronous I/O started from the vCPU thread, but the main and vCPU
threads are quite different. The main thread is an I/O thread itself,
only running a more complicated event loop; the vCPU thread instead
is essentially a worker thread that occasionally calls
qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(). It is only in those critical sections
that it acts as if it were the home thread of the main AioContext.
Therefore, this patch detaches qemu_get_current_aio_context() from
iothreads, which is a useless complication. The AioContext pointer
is stored directly in the thread-local variable, including for the
main loop. Worker threads (including vCPU threads) optionally behave
as temporary home threads if they have taken the big QEMU lock,
but if that is not the case they will always schedule coroutines
on remote threads via aio_co_schedule().
With this change, the stub qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() must be changed
from true to false. The previous value of true was needed because the
main thread did not have an AioContext in the thread-local variable,
but now it does have one.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")
done
I manually fixed line-wrap issues and misaligned rST tables.

object_get_canonical_path_component() returns a malloced copy of a
property name on success, null on failure.
19 of its 25 callers immediately free the returned copy.
Change object_get_canonical_path_component() to return the property
name directly. Since modifying the name would be wrong, adjust the
return type to const char *.
Drop the free from the 19 callers become simpler, add the g_strdup()
to the other six.

Not exactly elegant, I'm afraid.
The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming
if (fun(args, &err)) {
goto out
}
...
out:
error_propagate(errp, err);
even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate().
For an actual example, see sclp_realize().
Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(),
incorrectly. I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that
it helps here.
The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure
out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err". For
an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable().
Silently fails to convert hw/arm/armsse.c, because Coccinelle gets
confused by ARMSSE being used both as typedef and function-like macro

Replace
error_setg(&err, ...);
error_propagate(errp, err);
by
error_setg(errp, ...);
Related pattern:
if (...) {
error_setg(&err, ...);
goto out;
}
...
out:
error_propagate(errp, err);
return;
When all paths to label out are that way, replace by
if (...) {
error_setg(errp, ...);
return;
}
and delete the label along with the error_propagate().
When we have at most one other path that actually needs to propagate,
and maybe one at the end that where propagation is unnecessary, e.g.
foo(..., &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
}
...
bar(..., &err);
out:
error_propagate(errp, err);
return;
move the error_propagate() to where it's needed, like
if (...) {
foo(..., &err);
error_propagate(errp, err);
return;
}
...
bar(..., errp);
return;
and transform the error_setg() as above.
In some places, the transformation results in obviously unnecessary
error_propagate(). The next few commits will eliminate them.
Bonus: the elimination of gotos will make later patches in this series
easier to review.

The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists. Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.
Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.
We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.
The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.
Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.
When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.
Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.
There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

In existing code we create the gcontext dynamically at the first
access of the gcontext from caller. That can bring some complexity
and potential races during using iothread. Since the context itself
is not that big a resource, and we won't have millions of iothread,
let's simply create the gcontext unconditionally.
This will also be a preparation work further to move the thread
context push operation earlier than before (now it's only pushed right
before we want to start running the gmainloop).
Removing the g_once since it's not necessary, while introducing a new
run_gcontext boolean to show whether we want to run the gcontext.

quitting:

While the iothread is still in the main loop:

#6 0x000003ffad00dcf2 in thread_start
IMHO it's because there's a race between the main thread and iothread
when stopping the thread in following sequence:
main thread iothread
=========== ==============
aio_poll()
iothread_get_g_main_context
set iothread->worker_context
iothread_stop
schedule iothread_stop_bh
execute iothread_stop_bh [1]
set iothread->running=false
(since main_loop==NULL so
skip to quit main loop.
Note: although main_loop is
NULL but worker_context is
not!)
atomic_read(&iothread->worker_context) [2]
create main_loop object
g_main_loop_run() [3]
pthread_join() [4]
We can see that when execute iothread_stop_bh() at [1] it's possible
that main_loop is still NULL because it's only created until the first
check of the worker_context later at [2]. Then the iothread will hang
in the main loop [3] and it'll starve the main thread too [4].
Here the simple solution should be that we check again the "running"
variable before check against worker_context.

Free the AIO context earlier than the GMainContext (if we have) to
workaround a glib2 bug that GSource context pointer is not cleared even
if the context has already been destroyed (while it should).
The patch itself only changed the order to destroy the objects, no
functional change at all. Without this workaround, we can encounter
qmp-test hang with oob (and possibly any other use case when iothread is
used with GMainContexts):

The glib2 bug is fixed in commit 26056558b ("gmain: allow
g_source_get_context() on destroyed sources", 2012-07-30), so the first
good version is glib2 2.33.10. But we still support building with
glib as old as 2.28, so we need the workaround.
Let's make sure we destroy the GSources first before its owner context
until we drop support for glib older than 2.33.10.

Commit 00d09fdbbae5f7864ce754913efc84c12fdf9f1a ("vl: pause vcpus before
stopping iothreads") and commit dce8921b2baaf95974af8176406881872067adfa
("iothread: Stop threads before main() quits") tried to work around the
fact that emulation was still active during termination by stopping
iothreads. They suffer from race conditions:
1. virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_vq() racing with iothread_stop_all() hits the
virtio_scsi_ctx_check() assertion failure because the BDS AioContext
has been modified by iothread_stop_all().
2. Guest vq kick racing with main loop termination leaves a readable
ioeventfd that is handled by the next aio_poll() when external
clients are enabled again, resulting in unwanted emulation activity.
This patch obsoletes those commits by fully disabling emulation activity
when vcpus are stopped.
Use the new vm_shutdown() function instead of pause_all_vcpus() so that
vm change state handlers are invoked too. Virtio devices will now stop
their ioeventfds, preventing further emulation activity after vm_stop().
Note that vm_stop(RUN_STATE_SHUTDOWN) cannot be used because it emits a
QMP STOP event that may affect existing clients.
It is no longer necessary to call replay_disable_events() directly since
vm_shutdown() does so already.
Drop iothread_stop_all() since it is no longer used.

The previous commit improved compile time by including less of the
generated QAPI headers. This is impossible for stuff defined directly
in qapi-schema.json, because that ends up in headers that that pull in
everything.
Move everything but include directives from qapi-schema.json to new
sub-module qapi/misc.json, then include just the "misc" shard where
possible.
It's possible everywhere, except:
* monitor.c needs qmp-command.h to get qmp_init_marshal()
* monitor.c, ui/vnc.c and the generated qapi-event-FOO.c need
qapi-event.h to get enum QAPIEvent
Perhaps we'll get rid of those some other day.
Adding a type to qapi/migration.json now recompiles some 120 instead
of 2300 out of 5100 objects.

The relevant code from iothread_run() is:
while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) {
aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true);
and iothread_stop():
iothread->stopping = true;
aio_notify(iothread->ctx);
...
qemu_thread_join(&iothread->thread);
The following scenario can occur:
1. IOThread:
while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) -> stopping=false
2. Main loop:
iothread->stopping = true;
aio_notify(iothread->ctx);
3. IOThread:
aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true); -> hang
The bug is explained by the AioContext->notify_me doc comments:
"If this field is 0, everything (file descriptors, bottom halves,
timers) will be re-evaluated before the next blocking poll(), thus the
event_notifier_set call can be skipped."
The problem is that "everything" does not include checking
iothread->stopping. This means iothread_run() will block in aio_poll()
if aio_notify() was called just before aio_poll().
This patch fixes the hang by replacing aio_notify() with
aio_bh_schedule_oneshot(). This makes aio_poll() or g_main_loop_run()
to return.
Implementing this properly required a new bool running flag. The new
flag prevents races that are tricky if we try to use iothread->stopping.
Now iothread->stopping is purely for iothread_stop() and
iothread->running is purely for the iothread_run() thread.

When gcontext is used with iothread, the context will be destroyed
during iothread_stop(). That's not good since sometimes we would like
to keep the resources until iothread is destroyed, but we may want to
stop the thread before that point.
Delay the destruction of gcontext to iothread finalize. Then we can do:
iothread_stop(thread);
some_cleanup_on_resources();
iothread_destroy(thread);
We may need this patch if we want to run chardev IOs in iothreads and
hopefully clean them up correctly. For more specific information,
please see 2b316774f6 ("qemu-char: do not operate on sources from

So that internal iothread users can explicitly stop one iothread without
destroying it.
Since at it, fix iothread_stop() to allow it to be called multiple
times. Before this patch we may call iothread_stop() more than once on
single iothread, while that may not be correct since qemu_thread_join()
is not allowed to run twice. From manual of pthread_join():
Joining with a thread that has previously been joined results in
undefined behavior.

IOThread AioContexts are likely to consist only of event sources like
virtqueue ioeventfds and LinuxAIO completion eventfds that are pollable
from userspace (without system calls).
We recently merged the AioContext polling feature but didn't enable it
by default yet. I have gone back over the performance data on the
mailing list and picked a default polling value that gave good results.
Let's enable AioContext polling by default so users don't have another
switch they need to set manually. If performance regressions are found
we can still disable this for the QEMU 2.9 release.

This patch is based on the algorithm for the kvm.ko halt_poll_ns
parameter in Linux. The initial polling time is zero.
If the event loop is woken up within the maximum polling time it means
polling could be effective, so grow polling time.
If the event loop is woken up beyond the maximum polling time it means
polling is not effective, so shrink polling time.
If the event loop makes progress within the current polling time then
the sweet spot has been reached.
This algorithm adjusts the polling time so it can adapt to variations in
workloads. The goal is to reach the sweet spot while also recognizing
when polling would hurt more than help.
Two new trace events, poll_grow and poll_shrink, are added for observing
polling time adjustment.

This is the first step towards having fine-grained critical sections in
dataplane threads, which will resolve lock ordering problems between
address_space_* functions (which need the BQL when doing MMIO, even
after we complete RCU-based dispatch) and the AioContext.
Because AioContext does not use contention callbacks anymore, the
unit test has to be changed.

Right after main_loop ends, we release various things but keep iothread

Specifically, after bdrv_close_all(), virtio-scsi dataplane get a

}
