[PULL 18/32] block/export: wait for vhost-user-blk requests when draining

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

Each vhost-user-blk request runs in a coroutine. When the BlockBackend
enters a drained section we need to enter a quiescent state. Currently
any in-flight requests race with bdrv_drained_begin() because it is
unaware of vhost-user-blk requests.

When blk_co_preadv/pwritev()/etc returns it wakes the
bdrv_drained_begin() thread but vhost-user-blk request processing has
not yet finished. The request coroutine continues executing while the
main loop thread thinks it is in a drained section.

One example where this is unsafe is for blk_set_aio_context() where
bdrv_drained_begin() is called before .aio_context_detached() and
.aio_context_attach(). If request coroutines are still running after
bdrv_drained_begin(), then the AioContext could change underneath them
and they race with new requests processed in the new AioContext. This
could lead to virtqueue corruption, for example.

(This example is theoretical, I came across this while reading the
code and have not tried to reproduce it.)

It's easy to make bdrv_drained_begin() wait for in-flight requests: add
a .drained_poll() callback that checks the VuServer's in-flight counter.
VuServer just needs an API that returns true when there are requests in
flight. The in-flight counter needs to be atomic.
