* util/defer-call: move defer_call() to util/Stefan Hajnoczi2023-10-311-156/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code to util/ where it can be reused. As a reminder of what defer_call() does: This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests at once instead of individually: defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section ... defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another ... defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once Suggested-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-ID: <20230913200045.1024233-3-stefanha@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

* block: rename blk_io_plug_call() API to defer_call()Stefan Hajnoczi2023-10-311-56/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare to move the blk_io_plug_call() API out of the block layer so that other subsystems call use this deferred call mechanism. Rename it to defer_call() but leave the code in block/plug.c. The next commit will move the code out of the block layer.

* block: add blk_io_plug_call() APIStefan Hajnoczi2023-06-011-0/+159
Introduce a new API for thread-local blk_io_plug() that does not traverse the block graph. The goal is to make blk_io_plug() multi-queue friendly. Instead of having block drivers track whether or not we're in a plugged section, provide an API that allows them to defer a function call until we're unplugged: blk_io_plug_call(fn, opaque). If blk_io_plug_call() is called multiple times with the same fn/opaque pair, then fn() is only called once at the end of the function - resulting in batching. This patch introduces the API and changes blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug(). blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug() no longer require a BlockBackend argument because the plug state is now thread-local. Later patches convert block drivers to blk_io_plug_call() and then we can finally remove .bdrv_co_io_plug() once all block drivers have been converted.
