2008-09-22Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementationsaliguori1-4/+2
This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations. It's only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch. Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend. For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must support registration. This patch introduces a new function, qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be called back. qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered with this function until one becomes readable or writable. This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices (like NBD).

2008-09-15Use common objects for qemu-img and qemu-nbdaliguori1-2/+0
Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for linking against qemu and the tools. This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects. This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to #if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows. After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and qemu-nbd.

2008-09-10Use signalfd() to work around signal/select racealiguori1-3/+0
This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we emulate it with threads. There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of signals is a good thing. I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked for disk IO performance regressions.
