58 * main_loop_wait: Run one iteration of the main loop.
59 *
60 * If @nonblocking is true, poll for events, otherwise suspend until
61 * one actually occurs. The main loop usually consists of a loop that
62 * repeatedly calls main_loop_wait(false).
63 *
64 * Main loop services include file descriptor callbacks, bottom halves
a275e934 65 * and timers (defined in qemu/timer.h). Bottom halves are similar to timers
44a9b356
PB
66 * that execute immediately, but have a lower overhead and scheduling them
67 * is wait-free, thread-safe and signal-safe.
68 *
69 * It is sometimes useful to put a whole program in a coroutine. In this
70 * case, the coroutine actually should be started from within the main loop,
71 * so that the main loop can run whenever the coroutine yields. To do this,
72 * you can use a bottom half to enter the coroutine as soon as the main loop
73 * starts:

75 * void enter_co_bh(void *opaque) {
