[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] nbd/server: attach client channel to the export's AioContext
Posted by Sergio Lopez 4 years, 7 months ago
On creation, the export's AioContext is set to the same one as the
BlockBackend, while the AioContext in the client QIOChannel is left
untouched.

As a result, when using data-plane, nbd_client_receive_next_request()
schedules coroutines in the IOThread AioContext, while the client's
QIOChannel is serviced from the main_loop, potentially triggering the
assertion at qio_channel_restart_[read|write].

To fix this, as soon we have the export corresponding to the client,
we call qio_channel_attach_aio_context() to attach the QIOChannel
context to the export's AioContext. This matches with the logic at
blk_aio_attached().

I assume this patch has been superseded by Eric's later patches?

Nevermind -- my filtering got messed up slightly and I missed the
followup. I see that Eric staged this.

I actually think both patches are needed: this one covers transactions,
while my later patch was on top of this to protect shutdown.  But now
you've made me curious; I'll see if my patch hoisted in front still
solves everything, or if we really do need both.

Nope, both patches are still needed.  Sergio's fixes the assertion:
    (qemu) qemu-kvm: io/channel.c:411: qio_channel_restart_read:
Assertion `qemu_get_current_aio_context() ==
qemu_coroutine_get_aio_context(co)' failed.

while mine fixes:
+qemu: qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted
