* qemu-block: deprecated/defunct, remove from treeKaleb S KEITHLEY2016-03-071-225/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | qemu-block xlator is not used by anyone, or so I'm told. It's also substantially out of date. There's little reason to keep it in our sources. (And FedoraProject doesn't like bundled software either.)

* features/qemu-block: simplify coroutine model to use single synctask, ucontextBrian Foster2013-11-101-0/+225
The current coroutine model, mapping synctasks 1-1 with qemu internal Coroutines, has some unresolved raciness issues. This problem usually manifests as lifecycle mismatches between top-level (gluster created) synctasks and the subsequently created internal coroutines from that context. Qemu's internal queueing (and locking) can cause situations where the top-level synctask is destroyed before the internal scheduler has released references to memory, leading to use after free crashes and asserts. Simplify the coroutine model to use a single synctask as a coroutine processor and rely on the existing native ucontext coroutine implementation. The syncenv thread is donated to qemu and ensures a single top-level coroutine is processed at a time. Qemu now has complete control over coroutine scheduling.
