108 * aio_notify: Force processing of pending events.
110 * Similar to signaling a condition variable, aio_notify forces
111 * aio_wait to exit, so that the next call will re-examine pending events.
112 * The caller of aio_notify will usually call aio_wait again very soon,
113 * or go through another iteration of the GLib main loop. Hence, aio_notify
114 * also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
115 * that the main loop waits for.
117 * Calling aio_notify is rarely necessary, because for example scheduling
118 * a bottom half calls it already.

132 * Scheduling a bottom half interrupts the main loop and causes the
133 * execution of the callback that was passed to qemu_bh_new.
135 * Bottom halves that are scheduled from a bottom half handler are instantly
136 * invoked. This can create an infinite loop if a bottom half handler

146 * Canceling execution of a bottom half undoes the effect of calls to
147 * qemu_bh_schedule without freeing its resources yet. While cancellation
148 * itself is also wait-free and thread-safe, it can of course race with the
149 * loop that executes bottom halves unless you are holding the iothread
150 * mutex. This makes it mostly useless if you are not holding the mutex.
152 * @bh: The bottom half to be canceled.

160 * qemu_bh_new. It also implies canceling the bottom half if it was
161 * scheduled.
