In my mental model, .drained_begin() is still free to start as many asynchronous things as it likes. The only important thing to take care of is that .drained_poll() returns true as long as the BH (or other asynchronous operation) is still pending. Of course, your way of doing things still seems to result in simpler code because you don't have to deal with a BH at all if you only really want the first part and not the second. > Move the virtqueue processing out to the callers of > virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier() so that the function can be > called from any thread. This is in preparation for the next patch. Did you forget to remove it in virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier()? If it's unchanged, I don't think the AioContext requirement is lifted. > Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi > --- > hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c | 2 ++ > hw/scsi/virtio-scsi-dataplane.c | 9 +++++++++ > 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+) > diff --git a/hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c b/hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c > index b28d81737e..bd7cc6e76b 100644 > --- a/hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c > +++ b/hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c > @@ -286,8 +286,10 @@ static void virtio_blk_data_plane_stop_bh(void *opaque) > > for (i = 0; i < s->conf->num_queues; i++) { > VirtQueue *vq = virtio_get_queue(s->vdev, i); > + EventNotifier *host_notifier = virtio_queue_get_host_notifier(vq); > > virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier(vq, s->ctx); > + virtio_queue_host_notifier_read(host_notifier); > } > } The existing code in virtio_queue_aio_detach_host_notifier() has a comment before the read: /* Test and clear notifier before after disabling event, * in case poll callback didn't have time to run. */ Do we want to keep it around in the new places? (And also fix the "before after", I suppose, or replace it with a similar, but better comment that explains why we're reading here.) Kevin
