[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] aio: make aio_poll(ctx, true) block with no fds

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

This patch drops a special case where aio_poll(ctx, true) returns false
instead of blocking if no file descriptors are waiting on I/O.  Now it
is possible to block in aio_poll() to wait for aio_notify().

This change eliminates busy waiting.  bdrv_drain_all() used to rely on
busy waiting to completed throttled I/O requests but this is no longer
required so we can simplify aio_poll().

Note that aio_poll() still returns false when aio_notify() was used.  In
other words, stopping a blocking aio_poll() wait is not considered
making progress.

Adjust test-aio /aio/bh/callback-delete/one which assumed aio_poll(ctx,
true) would immediately return false instead of blocking.
