[PATCH v3 0/3] virtio-scsi: fix SCSIDevice hot unplug with IOThread


From: Stefan Hajnoczi
Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] virtio-scsi: fix SCSIDevice hot unplug with IOThread
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 16:22:15 -0500

v3:
- Fix s/see/sees/ typo in Patch 2 commit description [Eric]
- Add call stack to Patch 3 commit description to make it clear how blk_drain()
  is invoked [Kevin]

Unplugging SCSIDevices when virtio-scsi is using an IOThread suffers from race
conditions:
- scsi_device_purge_requests() is called from the IOThread in TMF emulation.
  This is unsafe, it should only be called from the BQL.
- SCSIRequest->aiocb is not protected by a lock, so there are races between the
  main loop thread and the IOThread when scsi_device_purge_requests() runs in
  the main loop thread.
- DMAAIOCB->acb is not protected by a lock, so there are races in the DMA
  helpers code when cancelling a request from the main loop thread.

These fixes solve assertion failures during SCSIDevice hot unplug in
virtio-scsi with IOThread. Expanding the use of the AioContext lock isn't great
since we're in the midst of trying to remove it. However, I think this solution
is appropriate so that stable trees or distros can backport the fix without
depending on QEMU multi-queue block layer refactoring.

Special thanks to Qing Wang, who helped me iterate these patches because I
couldn't reproduce the assertion failures myself.
