[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] iothread: delay the context release to finalize

[Peter Xu]

When gcontext is used with iothread, the context will be destroyed
during iothread_stop().  That's not good since sometimes we would like
to keep the resources until iothread is destroyed, but we may want to
stop the thread before that point.

Delay the destruction of gcontext to iothread finalize.  Then we can do:

  iothread_stop(thread);
  some_cleanup_on_resources();
  iothread_destroy(thread);
