178 * to be wait-free, thread-safe and signal-safe. The #QEMUBH structure
179 * is opaque and must be allocated prior to its use.
181 QEMUBH *aio_bh_new(AioContext *ctx, QEMUBHFunc *cb, void *opaque);
184 * aio_notify: Force processing of pending events.
186 * Similar to signaling a condition variable, aio_notify forces
187 * aio_wait to exit, so that the next call will re-examine pending events.
188 * The caller of aio_notify will usually call aio_wait again very soon,
189 * or go through another iteration of the GLib main loop. Hence, aio_notify
190 * also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
191 * that the main loop waits for.
193 * Calling aio_notify is rarely necessary, because for example scheduling
194 * a bottom half calls it already.
196 void aio_notify(AioContext *ctx);
199 * aio_notify_accept: Acknowledge receiving an aio_notify.
201 * aio_notify() uses an EventNotifier in order to wake up a sleeping
202 * aio_poll() or g_main_context_iteration(). Calls to aio_notify() are
203 * usually rare, but the AioContext has to clear the EventNotifier on
204 * every aio_poll() or g_main_context_iteration() in order to avoid
205 * busy waiting. This event_notifier_test_and_clear() cannot be done
206 * using the usual aio_context_set_event_notifier(), because it must
207 * be done before processing all events (file descriptors, bottom halves,
208 * timers).
210 * aio_notify_accept() is an optimized event_notifier_test_and_clear()
211 * that is specific to an AioContext's notifier; it is used internally
212 * to clear the EventNotifier only if aio_notify() had been called.

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