Otherwise yes, it's very close to just these changes. If you use "-object iothread,id=NN" and a iothread property, you can also use an N:M model with multiple disks attached to the same iothread. Defining the iothread property is like object_property_add_link(obj, "iothread", TYPE_IOTHREAD, (Object **)&s->conf.iothread, qdev_prop_allow_set_link_before_realize, OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE, NULL); Thanks, Paolo > + cq->iothread = &cq->internal_iothread_obj; > + cq->ctx = iothread_get_aio_context(cq->iothread); > + //Question: Need a conf.blk for each cq/sq??? > + //blk_set_aio_context(cq->conf->conf.blk, cq->ctx); > + aio_context_acquire(cq->ctx); > + aio_set_event_notifier(cq->ctx, &cq->notifier, true, > + nvme_cq_notifier); > + aio_context_release(cq->ctx); > } > > static void nvme_sq_notifier(EventNotifier *e) > @@ -578,9 +593,22 @@ static void nvme_init_sq_eventfd(NvmeSQueue *sq) > uint16_t offset = sq->sqid * 2 * (4 << NVME_CAP_DSTRD(n->bar.cap)); > > event_notifier_init(&sq->notifier, 0); > - event_notifier_set_handler(&sq->notifier, nvme_sq_notifier); > memory_region_add_eventfd(&n->iomem, > 0x1000 + offset, 4, false, 0, &sq->notifier); > + > + object_initialize(&sq->internal_iothread_obj, > + sizeof(sq->internal_iothread_obj), > + TYPE_IOTHREAD); > + user_creatable_complete(OBJECT(&sq->internal_iothread_obj), &error_abort); > + sq->iothread = &sq->internal_iothread_obj; > + sq->ctx = iothread_get_aio_context(sq->iothread); > + //Question: Need a conf.blk for each cq/sq??? > + //blk_set_aio_context(sq->conf->conf.blk, sq->ctx); > + > + aio_context_acquire(sq->ctx); > + aio_set_event_notifier(sq->ctx, &sq->notifier, true, > + nvme_sq_notifier); > + aio_context_release(sq->ctx); > } > > static uint16_t nvme_set_db_memory(NvmeCtrl *n, const NvmeCmd *cmd) > diff --git a/hw/block/nvme.h b/hw/block/nvme.h > index 608f202..171ee0b 100644 > --- a/hw/block/nvme.h > +++ b/hw/block/nvme.h > @@ -667,6 +667,10 @@ typedef struct NvmeSQueue { > * do not go over this value will not result in MMIO writes (but will > * still write the tail pointer to the "db_addr" location above). */ > uint64_t eventidx_addr; > + > + IOThread *iothread; > + IOThread internal_iothread_obj; > + AioContext *ctx; > EventNotifier notifier; > } NvmeSQueue; > > @@ -690,6 +694,10 @@ typedef struct NvmeCQueue { > * do not go over this value will not result in MMIO writes (but will > * still write the head pointer to the "db_addr" location above). */ > uint64_t eventidx_addr; > + > + IOThread *iothread; > + IOThread internal_iothread_obj; > + AioContext *ctx; > EventNotifier notifier; > } NvmeCQueue; > > >> >> Paolo _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
