From 70c60c089fdc6bf8a79324e492c13e8c08d55942 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:42:35 +0200 Subject: coroutine: add ./configure --disable-coroutine-pool The 'gthread' coroutine backend was written before the freelist (aka pool) existed in qemu-coroutine.c. This means that every thread is expected to exit when its coroutine terminates. It is not possible to reuse threads from a pool. This patch automatically disables the pool when 'gthread' is used. This allows the 'gthread' backend to work again (for example, tests/test-coroutine completes successfully instead of hanging). I considered implementing thread reuse but I don't want quirks like CPU affinity differences due to coroutine threads being recycled. The 'gthread' backend is a reference backend and it's therefore okay to skip the pool optimization. Note this patch also makes it easy to toggle the pool for benchmarking purposes: ./configure --with-coroutine-backend=ucontext \ --disable-coroutine-pool Reported-by: Gabriel Kerneis Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Reviewed-by: Gabriel Kerneis Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf --- configure | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) (limited to 'configure') diff --git a/configure b/configure index b49902841e..1b6f68b691 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -238,6 +238,7 @@ win_sdk="no" want_tools="yes" libiscsi="" coroutine="" +coroutine_pool="" seccomp="" glusterfs="" glusterfs_discard="no" @@ -888,6 +889,10 @@ for opt do ;; --with-coroutine=*) coroutine="$optarg" ;; + --disable-coroutine-pool) coroutine_pool="no" + ;; + --enable-coroutine-pool) coroutine_pool="yes" + ;; --disable-docs) docs="no" ;; --enable-docs) docs="yes" @@ -1189,6 +1194,8 @@ echo " --disable-seccomp disable seccomp support" echo " --enable-seccomp enables seccomp support" echo " --with-coroutine=BACKEND coroutine backend.
