[Qemu-devel] [REFACTORED CODE] [PATCH 0/3] Threadlets: A generic task offloading framework.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

Hi,

This is the v9 of the refactored patch-series to have a generic
asynchronous task offloading framework (called threadlets)
within qemu.


Changes from earlier iteration:

* Code is refactored such that it reflects the following:
        patch1: In-place code changes in paio subsystem to use the
                generic threadlets infrastructure.
        patch2: Move the threadlets infrastructure to a new file -
                qemu-threadlets.c
        patch3: Add helper functions to enable virtio-9p make
                use of the threadlets

* Remove the infinite while loop in paio_cancel and use mutex
  to wait for request to complete.

* Address the issue of dead code due to
  MAX_GLOBAL_THREADS = MIN_GLOBAL_THREADS

The following series implements...

---

      Make paio subsystem use threadlets infrastructure

Arun R Bharadwaj (1):
      Move threadlets infrastructure to qemu-threadlets.c

Gautham R Shenoy (1):
      Add helper functions to enable virtio-9p make use of the threadlets
