In order to allow thread schedulers to be dynamically loaded,
it is necessary to make the following changes to the server:
- Two new service interfaces
- Modifications to InnoDB to inform the thread scheduler of state changes.
- Changes to the VIO subsystem for checking if data is available on a socket.
- Elimination of remains of the old thread pool implementation.
The two new service interfaces introduces are:
my_thread_scheduler
A service interface to register a thread
scheduler.
thd_wait
A service interface to inform thread scheduler
that the thread is about to start waiting.
In addition, the patch adds code that:
- Add a call to thd_wait for table locks in mysys
thd_lock.c by introducing a set function that
can be used to set a callback to be used when
waiting on a lock and resuming from waiting.
- Calling the mysys set function from the server
to set the callbacks correctly.
