This patch introduces two lock guard macros that automatically unlock a
lock object (QemuMutex and others):
void f(void) {
QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(&mutex);
if (!may_fail()) {
return; /* automatically unlocks mutex */
}
...
}
and:
WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(&mutex) {
if (!may_fail()) {
return; /* automatically unlocks mutex */
}
}
/* automatically unlocks mutex here */
...
Convert qemu-timer.c functions that benefit from these macros as an
example. Manual qemu_mutex_lock/unlock() callers are left unmodified in
cases where clarity would not improve by switching to the macros.
Many other QemuMutex users remain in the codebase that might benefit
from lock guards. Over time they can be converted, if that is
desirable.
