| 36 | * QIOTask: |
| 37 | * |
| 38 | * The QIOTask object provides a simple mechanism for reporting |
| 39 | * success / failure of long running background operations. |
| 40 | * |
| 41 | * A object on which the operation is to be performed could have |
| 42 | * a public API which accepts a task callback: |
| 43 | * |
| 44 | * <example> |
Daniel P. Berrange | 60e705c | 2016-08-11 15:20:58 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | * <title>Task function signature</title> |

Daniel P. Berrange | b02db2d | 2015-03-18 17:25:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 51 | * </programlisting> |
| 52 | * </example> |
| 53 | * |
| 54 | * The 'func' parameter is the callback to be invoked, and 'opaque' |
| 55 | * is data to pass to it. The optional 'notify' function is used |
| 56 | * to free 'opaque' when no longer needed. |
| 57 | * |
Daniel P. Berrange | 60e705c | 2016-08-11 15:20:58 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 58 | * When the operation completes, the 'func' callback will be |
| 59 | * invoked, allowing the calling code to determine the result |
| 60 | * of the operation. An example QIOTaskFunc implementation may |
| 61 | * look like |
Daniel P. Berrange | b02db2d | 2015-03-18 17:25:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 62 | * |
| 63 | * <example> |

| 78 | * </programlisting> |
| 79 | * </example> |
| 80 | * |
| 81 | * Now, lets say the implementation of the method using the |
| 82 | * task wants to set a timer to run once a second checking |
| 83 | * for completion of some activity. It would do something |
| 84 | * like |

| 107 | * It could equally have setup a watch on a file descriptor or |

| 109 | * Notice that the source object is passed to the task, and |
| 110 | * QIOTask will hold a reference on that. This ensure that |
| 111 | * the QMyObject instance cannot be garbage collected while |
| 112 | * the async task is still in progress. |
| 113 | * |
| 114 | * In this case, myobject_operation_timer will fire after |

| 137 | * </programlisting> |

| 139 | * |
Daniel P. Berrange | 60e705c | 2016-08-11 15:20:58 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | * The 'qio_task_complete' call in this method will trigger |
| 141 | * the callback func 'myobject_operation_notify' shown |
| 142 | * earlier to deal with the results. |
| 143 | * |
Daniel P. Berrange | b02db2d | 2015-03-18 17:25:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 144 | * Once this function returns false, object_unref will be called |
| 145 | * automatically on the task causing it to be released and the |
| 146 | * ref on QMyObject dropped too. |
| 147 | * |
| 148 | * The QIOTask module can also be used to perform operations |
| 149 | * in a background thread context, while still reporting the |
| 150 | * results in the main event thread. This allows code which |
| 151 | * cannot easily be rewritten to be asychronous (such as DNS |
| 152 | * lookups) to be easily run non-blocking. Reporting the |
| 153 | * results in the main thread context means that the caller |
| 154 | * typically does not need to be concerned about thread |
| 155 | * safety wrt the QEMU global mutex. |
| 156 | * |
| 157 | * For example, the socket_listen() method will block the caller |
| 158 | * while DNS lookups take place if given a name, instead of IP |
| 159 | * address. The C library often do not provide a practical async |
| 160 | * DNS API, so the to get non-blocking DNS lookups in a portable |
| 161 | * manner requires use of a thread. So achieve a non-blocking |
| 162 | * socket listen using QIOTask would require: |
| 163 | * |
| 164 | * <example> |
