    main-loop: introduce qemu_mutex_iothread_locked · afbe7053
    Paolo Bonzini 提交于
    This function will be used to avoid recursive locking of the iothread lock
    whenever address_space_rw/ld*/st* are called with the BQL held, which is
    almost always the case.
    
    Tracking whether the iothread is owned is very cheap (just use a TLS
    variable) but requires some care because now the lock must always be
    taken with qemu_mutex_lock_iothread().  Previously this wasn't the case.
    Outside TCG mode this is not a problem.  In TCG mode, we need to be
    careful and avoid the "prod out of compiled code" step if already
    in a VCPU thread.  This is easily done with a check on current_cpu,
    i.e. qemu_in_vcpu_thread().
    
    Hopefully, multithreaded TCG will get rid of the whole logic to kick
    VCPUs whenever an I/O event occurs!
