Re: [Gluster-devel] Is it safe to use synctask_{wake, yield} outside of __wake and __yield macros?

[Anand Avati]

So you are not using the SYNCOP() macro, right? Can you show a code snippet of how you are trying to fan-out and yield? We could probably come up with a generic framework for such fan-out->yield->wake pattern.

You should be able to call syncop_yield() instead of __yield() if you are _sure_ that the caller is going to be from within a syncenv.

In glusterd, I am trying to perform a series of syncops in a batch. ie, yield the thread
once all the non-blocking operations are queued. The wakeup back to the yielded thread
happens as part of the call_cnt mechanism in the callback(s).

Given this, I wanted to know if I would be flouting any of assumptions, if I used
synctask_yield and synctask_wake as opposed to their macro counterparts. More specifically,
is there a chance that synctask_get() would return NULL on a thread which is part of a syncenv's
thread pool?

thanks,
