[Qemu-block] [RFC PATCH 0/5] Fix some jobs/drain/aio_poll related hangs

[Kevin Wolf]

I'm running out of time and will be offline for the next two weeks, so
I'm just sending out what I have right now. This is probably not ready
to be merged yet, but if need be, someone else can pick it up. Otherwise
I'll do that myself when I return.

This is related to the following bug reports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614623
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601212

Essentially it tries to fix a few deadlocks into which we run when
running two commit jobs (probably just one example for problematic
scenarios) on nodes that are in a non-mainloop AioContext (i.e. with
dataplane).

Obviously, besides verifying that the code changes are actually correct
as they are, we also want to add some test cases for this. I suppose
test-bdrv-drain should test for the individual bugs, and a qemu-iotests
case could try the higher level scenario of multiple commit jobs with
dataplane.

Kevin Wolf (5):
  blockjob: Wake up BDS when job becomes idle
  tests: Acquire AioContext around job_finish_sync()
  job: Drop AioContext lock around aio_poll()
  block: Drop AioContext lock in bdrv_drain_poll_top_level()
  [WIP] Lock AioContext in bdrv_co_drain_bh_cb()
