[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] job: Fix nested aio_poll() hanging in job_txn_apply

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

All callers have acquired ctx already. Doing that again results in
aio_poll() hang. This fixes the problem that a BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in the
callback cannot make progress because ctx is recursively locked, for
example, when drive-backup finishes.

There are two callers of job_finalize():

    fam@lemon:~/work/qemu [master]$ git grep -w -A1 '^\s*job_finalize'
    blockdev.c:    job_finalize(&job->job, errp);
    blockdev.c-    aio_context_release(aio_context);
    --
    job-qmp.c:    job_finalize(job, errp);
    job-qmp.c-    aio_context_release(aio_context);
    --
    tests/test-blockjob.c:    job_finalize(&job->job, &error_abort);
    tests/test-blockjob.c-    assert(job->job.status == JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED);

Ignoring the test, it's easy to see both callers to job_finalize (and
job_do_finalize) have acquired the context.
