The virtio-scsi event virtqueue is not emptied by its handler function.
This is typical for rx virtqueues where the device uses buffers when
some event occurs (e.g. a packet is received, an error condition
happens, etc).
Polling non-empty virtqueues wastes CPU cycles. We are not waiting for
new buffers to become available, we are waiting for an event to occur,
so it's a misuse of CPU resources to poll for buffers.
Introduce the new virtio_queue_aio_attach_host_notifier_no_poll() API,
which is identical to virtio_queue_aio_attach_host_notifier() except
that it does not poll the virtqueue.
Before this patch the following command-line consumed 100% CPU in the
IOThread polling and calling virtio_scsi_handle_event():
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -M accel=kvm -m 1G -cpu host \
--object iothread,id=iothread0 \
--device virtio-scsi-pci,iothread=iothread0 \
--blockdev file,filename=test.img,aio=native,cache.direct=on,node-name=drive0 \
--device scsi-hd,drive=drive0
After this patch CPU is no longer wasted.
