When bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() is called in the main loop to change
the AioContext onto the IO thread, the bdrv_drain_invoke_entry() never
gets to run and the IO thread hangs at co_schedule_bh_cb().
This is because the AioContext is occupied by the main thread after
being attached to the IO thread, and the main thread poll in
bdrv_drained_end() waiting for the IO request to be drained, but the IO
thread cannot acquire the AioContext, which leads to deadlock.
This shouldn't be the case:
* The caller must own the AioContext lock for the old AioContext of bs, but it
* must not own the AioContext lock for new_context (unless new_context is the
* same as the current context of bs).
Then bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() switches the AioContext of bs, and
then calls bdrv_drained_end() while holding only the lock for the new
context. AIO_WAIT_WHILE() will temporarily drop that lock, so aio_poll()
should run without holding any AioContext locks.
If I'm not missing anything, the scenario you're seeing means that the
caller already held a lock for the new AioContext, so that it's locked
twice while AIO_WAIT_WHILE() drops the lock only once. This would be a
bug in the caller because the documentation I quoted explicitly forbids
holding the AioContext lock for the new context.
Just like below:

Which version of QEMU are you using? In current git master, line 831 is
something entirely different.
Are you using something before commit c7040ff6? Because this is a commit
that fixed a virtio-scsi bug where it would hold the wrong lock before
calling blk_set_aio_context().

Therefore, we should never poll anywhere in
bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() when acquiring the new context. In fact,
commit e037c09c has also already elaborated on why we can't poll at
bdrv_do_drained_end().

This would be wrong because bs is already in the new context, but you
wouldn't hold the lock for it. AIO_WAIT_WHILE() would try to drop the
lock for a context that isn't even locked, resulting in a crash.
