193 * aio_notify: Force processing of pending events.
195 * Similar to signaling a condition variable, aio_notify forces
196 * aio_wait to exit, so that the next call will re-examine pending events.
197 * The caller of aio_notify will usually call aio_wait again very soon,
198 * or go through another iteration of the GLib main loop. Hence, aio_notify
199 * also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
200 * that the main loop waits for.
202 * Calling aio_notify is rarely necessary, because for example scheduling
203 * a bottom half calls it already.
205 void aio_notify(AioContext *ctx);
208 * aio_notify_accept: Acknowledge receiving an aio_notify.
210 * aio_notify() uses an EventNotifier in order to wake up a sleeping
211 * aio_poll() or g_main_context_iteration(). Calls to aio_notify() are
212 * usually rare, but the AioContext has to clear the EventNotifier on
213 * every aio_poll() or g_main_context_iteration() in order to avoid
214 * busy waiting. This event_notifier_test_and_clear() cannot be done
215 * using the usual aio_context_set_event_notifier(), because it must
216 * be done before processing all events (file descriptors, bottom halves,
217 * timers).
219 * aio_notify_accept() is an optimized event_notifier_test_and_clear()
220 * that is specific to an AioContext's notifier; it is used internally
221 * to clear the EventNotifier only if aio_notify() had been called.

235 * be called concurrently
237 int aio_bh_poll(AioContext *ctx);
240 * qemu_bh_schedule: Schedule a bottom half.
242 * Scheduling a bottom half interrupts the main loop and causes the
243 * execution of the callback that was passed to qemu_bh_new.
245 * Bottom halves that are scheduled from a bottom half handler are instantly
246 * invoked. This can create an infinite loop if a bottom half handler
247 * schedules itself.
249 * @bh: The bottom half to be scheduled.
251 void qemu_bh_schedule(QEMUBH *bh);
254 * qemu_bh_cancel: Cancel execution of a bottom half.
256 * Canceling execution of a bottom half undoes the effect of calls to
257 * qemu_bh_schedule without freeing its resources yet. While cancellation
258 * itself is also wait-free and thread-safe, it can of course race with the
259 * loop that executes bottom halves unless you are holding the iothread
260 * mutex. This makes it mostly useless if you are not holding the mutex.
262 * @bh: The bottom half to be canceled.
264 void qemu_bh_cancel(QEMUBH *bh);
267 *qemu_bh_delete: Cancel execution of a bottom half and free its resources.
269 * Deleting a bottom half frees the memory that was allocated for it by
270 * qemu_bh_new. It also implies canceling the bottom half if it was
271 * scheduled.
272 * This func is async. The bottom half will do the delete action at the finial
273 * end.
