[PATCH-for-7.0] qemu/main-loop: Disable block backend global state assertion on Darwin
Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 2 years, 1 month ago 
From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org>

Since commit 0439c5a462 ("block/block-backend.c: assertions for
block-backend") QEMU crashes on Darwin hosts, example on macOS:

  $ qemu-system-i386
  Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next, file block-backend.c, line 552.
  Abort trap: 6

Looking with lldb:

  Assertion failed: (qemu_in_main_thread()), function blk_all_next, file block-backend.c, line 552.
  Process 76914 stopped
  * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = hit program assert

      553       return blk ? QTAILQ_NEXT(blk, link)
      554                  : QTAILQ_FIRST(&block_backends);
      555   }

As we are in passed release 7.0 hard freeze, disable the block
backend assertion which, while being valuable during development,
is not helpful to users. We'll restore this assertion immediately
once 7.0 is released and work on a fix.

You may use CONFIG_COCOA instead. The assertion can still do its job on 
Darwin if ui/cocoa is not in use.

Also, some code comment is nice to have since the intention is rather 
unclear from the code even though this is temporary and few people would 
stumble upon it.

Yeah better.

Indeed, I thought about that during the night ;)
