create mode 100644 event-loop-base.c

2.35.1

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com>

Introduce the 'event-loop-base' abstract class, it'll hold the

properties common to all event loops and provide the necessary hooks for

their creation and maintenance. Then have iothread inherit from it.

EventLoopBaseClass is defined as user creatable and provides a hook for

its children to attach themselves to the user creatable class 'complete'

function. It also provides an update_params() callback to propagate

property changes onto its children.

The new 'event-loop-base' class will live in the root directory. It is

built on its own using the 'link_whole' option (there are no direct

function dependencies between the class and its children, it all happens

trough 'constructor' magic). And also imposes new compilation

dependencies:

qom <- event-loop-base <- blockdev (iothread.c)

And in subsequent patches:

qom <- event-loop-base <- qemuutil (util/main-loop.c)

All this forced some amount of reordering in meson.build:

- Moved qom build definition before qemuutil. Doing it the other way

around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of

core libraries that live in between the two depend on it.

- Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the

'qom' source set.

No functional changes intended.

2.35.1

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com>

'event-loop-base' provides basic property handling for all 'AioContext'

based event loops. So let's define a new 'MainLoopClass' that inherits

from it. This will permit tweaking the main loop's properties through

qapi as well as through the command line using the '-object' keyword[1].

Only one instance of 'MainLoopClass' might be created at any time.

'EventLoopBaseClass' learns a new callback, 'can_be_deleted()' so as to

mark 'MainLoop' as non-deletable.

[1] For example:

-object main-loop,id=main-loop,aio-max-batch=<value>

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com>

The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until

empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour

doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of

creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's

'-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread

has been measured take multiple milliseconds.

In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase'

property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during

the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain

available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon

freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to

configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.
