Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] blkdebug: fix racing condition when iterating on
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 10:29:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210614082931.24925-1-eesposit@redhat.com> (raw)

When qemu_coroutine_enter is executed in a loop
(even QEMU_FOREACH_SAFE), the new routine can modify the list,
for example removing an element, causing problem when control
is given back to the caller that continues iterating on the same list. 

Patch 1 solves the issue in blkdebug_debug_resume by restarting
the list walk after every coroutine_enter if list has to be fully iterated.
Patches 2,3,4 aim to fix blkdebug_debug_event by gathering
all actions that the rules make in a counter and invoking 
the respective coroutine_yeld only after processing all requests.

Patch 5-6 are somewhat independent of the others, patch 5 removes the need
of new_state field, and patch 6 adds a lock to
protect rules and suspended_reqs; right now everything works because
it's protected by the AioContext lock.
This is a preparation for the current proposal of removing the AioContext
lock and instead using smaller granularity locks to allow multiple
iothread execution in the same block device.

v5:
* Add comment in patch 1 to explain why we don't need _SAFE in for loop
* Move the state update (s->state = new_state) in patch 5, to maintain
  the same existing effect in all patches

Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito (6):
  blkdebug: refactor removal of a suspended request
  blkdebug: move post-resume handling to resume_req_by_tag
  blkdebug: track all actions
  blkdebug: do not suspend in the middle of QLIST_FOREACH_SAFE
  block/blkdebug: remove new_state field and instead use a local
    variable
  blkdebug: protect rules and suspended_reqs with a lock
