[Qemu-devel] [RFC v1 09/12] translate-all: introduces tb_flush_safe.


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC v1 09/12] translate-all: introduces tb_flush_safe.
Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 15:23:48 +0100

From: KONRAD Frederic <address@hidden>

tb_flush is not thread safe we definitely need to exit VCPUs to do that.
This introduces tb_flush_safe which just creates an async safe work which will
do a tb_flush later. This is called when we run out of space.
