[Qemu-devel] v5 [PATCH 0/3] qemu: Threadlets: A generic task offloading framework

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

Hi,

This is the v5 of the patch-series to have a generic asynchronous task
offloading framework (called threadlets) within qemu.

V4 can be found here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg36157.html

Change from v4:

* The earlier code was hitting a null pointer dereference error at
  cpu_exit() with IO thread disabled. This version adds a signal
  handler for SIGUSR2 to call qemu_service_io() which calls cpu_exit()

The following series implements...

Aneesh Kumar K.V (1):

Gautham R Shenoy (2):
      Make paio subsystem use threadlets
      Add helper functions for virtio-9p to use threadlets
