[PATCH 0/3] blcok: Start/end drain on correct AioContext

[Hanna Reitz]

Hi,

bdrv_replace_child_noperm() drains the child via
bdrv_parent_drained_{begin,end}_single().  When it removes a child, the
bdrv_parent_drained_end_single() at its end will be called on an empty
child, making the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in it poll the main AioContext
(because c->bs is NULL).

That’s wrong, though, because it’s supposed to operate on the parent.
bdrv_parent_drained_end_single_no_poll() will have scheduled any BHs in
the parents’ AioContext, which may be anything, not necessarily the main
context.  Therefore, we must poll the parent’s context.

Patch 3 does this for both bdrv_parent_drained_{begin,end}_single().
Patch 1 ensures that we can legally call
bdrv_child_get_parent_aio_context() from those functions (currently
marked as GLOBAL_STATE_CODE(), which I don’t think it is), and patch 2
fixes blk_do_set_aio_context() to not cause an assertion failure if it
beginning a drain can end up in blk_get_aio_context() before blk->ctx
has been updated.
