66 * accessed with atomic primitives. If this field is 0, everything
67 * (file descriptors, bottom halves, timers) will be re-evaluated
68 * before the next blocking poll(), thus the event_notifier_set call
69 * can be skipped. If it is non-zero, you may need to wake up a
70 * concurrent aio_poll or the glib main event loop, making
71 * event_notifier_set necessary.
73 * Bit 0 is reserved for GSource usage of the AioContext, and is 1
74 * between a call to aio_ctx_check and the next call to aio_ctx_dispatch.
75 * Bits 1-31 simply count the number of active calls to aio_poll
76 * that are in the prepare or poll phase.
78 * The GSource and aio_poll must use a different mechanism because
79 * there is no certainty that a call to GSource's prepare callback
80 * (via g_main_context_prepare) is indeed followed by check and
81 * dispatch. It's not clear whether this would be a bug, but let's
82 * play safe and allow it---it will just cause extra calls to
83 * event_notifier_set until the next call to dispatch.
85 * Instead, the aio_poll calls include both the prepare and the
86 * dispatch phase, hence a simple counter is enough for them.

187 * The caller of aio_notify will usually call aio_wait again very soon,
188 * or go through another iteration of the GLib main loop. Hence, aio_notify
189 * also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
190 * that the main loop waits for.

193 * a bottom half calls it already.

200 * aio_notify() uses an EventNotifier in order to wake up a sleeping

202 * usually rare, but the AioContext has to clear the EventNotifier on
203 * every aio_poll() or g_main_context_iteration() in order to avoid
204 * busy waiting. This event_notifier_test_and_clear() cannot be done
205 * using the usual aio_context_set_event_notifier(), because it must
206 * be done before processing all events (file descriptors, bottom halves,

232 * Scheduling a bottom half interrupts the main loop and causes the
233 * execution of the callback that was passed to qemu_bh_new.

236 * invoked. This can create an infinite loop if a bottom half handler

244 * qemu_bh_cancel: Cancel execution of a bottom half.
246 * Canceling execution of a bottom half undoes the effect of calls to
247 * qemu_bh_schedule without freeing its resources yet. While cancellation
248 * itself is also wait-free and thread-safe, it can of course race with the
249 * loop that executes bottom halves unless you are holding the iothread
250 * mutex. This makes it mostly useless if you are not holding the mutex.
