[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/9] blockdev: hold AioContext for bdrv_unref() in external_snapshot_clean()

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

bdrv_unref() requires the AioContext lock because bdrv_flush() uses
BDRV_POLL_WHILE(), which assumes the AioContext is currently held.  If
BDRV_POLL_WHILE() runs without AioContext held the
pthread_mutex_unlock() call in aio_context_release() fails.

This patch moves bdrv_unref() into the AioContext locked region to solve
the following pthread_mutex_unlock() failure:
