/**
|
|
* QIOTask:
|
|
*
|
|
* The QIOTask object provides a simple mechanism for reporting
|
|
* success / failure of long running background operations.
|
|
*
|
|
* A object on which the operation is to be performed could have
|
|
* a public API which accepts a task callback:
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* <title>Task callback function signature</title>
|
|
* <programlisting>
|
|
* void myobject_operation(QMyObject *obj,
|
|
* QIOTaskFunc *func,
|
|
* gpointer opaque,
|
|
* GDestroyNotify *notify);
|
|
* </programlisting>
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* The 'func' parameter is the callback to be invoked, and 'opaque'
|
|
* is data to pass to it. The optional 'notify' function is used
|
|
* to free 'opaque' when no longer needed.
|
|
*
|
|
* Now, lets say the implementation of this method wants to set
|
|
* a timer to run once a second checking for completion of some
|
|
* activity. It would do something like
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* <title>Task callback function implementation</title>
|
|
* <programlisting>
|
|
* void myobject_operation(QMyObject *obj,
|
|
* QIOTaskFunc *func,
|
|
* gpointer opaque,
|
|
* GDestroyNotify *notify)
|
|
* {
|
|
* QIOTask *task;
|
|
*
|
|
* task = qio_task_new(OBJECT(obj), func, opaque, notify);
|
|
*
|
|
* g_timeout_add_full(G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,
|
|
* 1000,
|
|
* myobject_operation_timer,
|
|
* task,
|
|
* NULL);
|
|
* }
|
|
* </programlisting>
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* It could equally have setup a watch on a file descriptor or
|
|
* created a background thread, or something else entirely.
|
|
* Notice that the source object is passed to the task, and
|
|
* QIOTask will hold a reference on that. This ensure that
|
|
* the QMyObject instance cannot be garbage collected while
|
|
* the async task is still in progress.
|
|
*
|
|
* In this case, myobject_operation_timer will fire after
|
|
* 3 secs and do
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* <title>Task timer function</title>
|
|
* <programlisting>
|
|
* gboolean myobject_operation_timer(gpointer opaque)
|
|
* {
|
|
* QIOTask *task = QIO_TASK(opaque);
|
|
* Error *err;*
|
|
*
|
|
* ...check something important...
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* qio_task_abort(task, err);
|
|
* error_free(task);
|
|
* return FALSE;
|
|
* } else if (...work is completed ...) {
|
|
* qio_task_complete(task);
|
|
* return FALSE;
|
|
* }
|
|
* ...carry on polling ...
|
|
* return TRUE;
|
|
* }
|
|
* </programlisting>
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* Once this function returns false, object_unref will be called
|
|
* automatically on the task causing it to be released and the
|
|
* ref on QMyObject dropped too.
|
|
*
|
|
* The QIOTask module can also be used to perform operations
|
|
* in a background thread context, while still reporting the
|
|
* results in the main event thread. This allows code which
|
|
* cannot easily be rewritten to be asychronous (such as DNS
|
|
* lookups) to be easily run non-blocking. Reporting the
|
|
* results in the main thread context means that the caller
|
|
* typically does not need to be concerned about thread
|
|
* safety wrt the QEMU global mutex.
|
|
*
|
|
* For example, the socket_listen() method will block the caller
|
|
* while DNS lookups take place if given a name, instead of IP
|
|
* address. The C library often do not provide a practical async
|
|
* DNS API, so the to get non-blocking DNS lookups in a portable
|
|
* manner requires use of a thread. So achieve a non-blocking
|
|
* socket listen using QIOTask would require:
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* static int myobject_listen_worker(QIOTask *task,
|
|
* Error **errp,
|
|
* gpointer opaque)
|
|
* {
|
|
* QMyObject obj = QMY_OBJECT(qio_task_get_source(task));
|
|
* SocketAddress *addr = opaque;
|
|
*
|
|
* obj->fd = socket_listen(addr, errp);
|
|
* if (obj->fd < 0) {
|
|
* return -1;
|
|
* }
|
|
* return 0;
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* void myobject_listen_async(QMyObject *obj,
|
|
* SocketAddress *addr,
|
|
* QIOTaskFunc *func,
|
|
* gpointer opaque,
|
|
* GDestroyNotify *notify)
|
|
* {
|
|
* QIOTask *task;
|
|
* SocketAddress *addrCopy;
|
|
*
|
|
* qapi_copy_SocketAddress(&addrCopy, addr);
|
|
* task = qio_task_new(OBJECT(obj), func, opaque, notify);
|
|
*
|
|
* qio_task_run_in_thread(task, myobject_listen_worker,
|
|
* addrCopy,
|
|
* qapi_free_SocketAddress);
|
|
* }
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* NB, The 'func' callback passed into myobject_listen_async
|
|
* will be invoked from the main event thread, despite the
|
|
* actual operation being performed in a different thread.
