Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.11] tests-aio-multithread: fix /aio/multi/schedule race condition
Date: Mon,  6 Nov 2017 19:02:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171106190233.1175-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)

test_multi_co_schedule_entry() set to_schedule[id] in the final loop
iteration before terminating the coroutine.  There is a race condition
where the main thread attempts to enter the terminating or terminated
coroutine when signalling coroutines to stop:

  atomic_mb_set(&now_stopping, true);
  for (i = 0; i < NUM_CONTEXTS; i++) {
      ctx_run(i, finish_cb, NULL);  <--- enters dead coroutine!
      to_schedule[i] = NULL;
  }

Make sure only to set to_schedule[id] if this coroutine really needs to
be scheduled!

This patch is appropriate for the QEMU 2.11 release to eliminate
spurious test failures.
