This series removes the AioContext locking APIs from QEMU.
aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release() are currently only needed to
support the locking discipline required by AIO_POLL_WHILE() (except for a stray
user that I converted in Patch 1). AIO_POLL_WHILE() doesn't really need the
AioContext lock anymore, so it's possible to remove the API. This is a nice
simplification because the AioContext locking rules were sometimes tricky or
underspecified, leading to many bugs of the years.
This patch series removes these APIs across the codebase and cleans up the
documentation/comments that refers to them.
Patch 1 is a AioContext lock user I forgot to convert in my earlier SCSI
conversion series.
Patch 2 removes tests for the AioContext lock because they will no longer be
needed when the lock is gone.
Patches 3-9 remove the AioContext lock. These can be reviewed by categorizing
the call sites into 1. places that take the lock because they call an API that
requires the lock (ultimately AIO_POLL_WHILE()) and 2. places that take the
lock to protect state. There should be no instances of case 2 left. If you see
one, you've found a bug in this patch series!
Patches 10-12 remove comments.
Based-on: 20231123194931.171598-1-stefanha@redhat.com ("[PATCH 0/4] scsi: eliminate AioContext lock")
Since SCSI needs to stop relying on the AioContext lock before we can remove
the lock.
