Subject: [PATCH v2] ide: Increment BB in-flight counter for TRIM BH
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 15:22:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220120142259.120189-1-hreitz@redhat.com> (raw)

When we still have an AIOCB registered for DMA operations, we try to
settle the respective operation by draining the BlockBackend associated
with the IDE device.

However, this assumes that every DMA operation is associated with an
increment of the BlockBackend’s in-flight counter (e.g. through some
ongoing I/O operation), so that draining the BB until its in-flight
counter reaches 0 will settle all DMA operations.  That is not the case:
For TRIM, the guest can issue a zero-length operation that will not
result in any I/O operation forwarded to the BlockBackend, and also not
increment the in-flight counter in any other way.  In such a case,
blk_drain() will be a no-op if no other operations are in flight.

It is clear that if blk_drain() is a no-op, the value of
s->bus->dma->aiocb will not change between checking it in the `if`
condition and asserting that it is NULL after blk_drain().

The particular problem is that ide_issue_trim() creates a BH
(ide_trim_bh_cb()) to settle the TRIM request: iocb->common.cb() is
ide_dma_cb(), which will either create a new request, or find the
transfer to be done and call ide_set_inactive(), which clears
s->bus->dma->aiocb.  Therefore, the blk_drain() must wait for
ide_trim_bh_cb() to run, which currently it will not always do.

To fix this issue, we increment the BlockBackend's in-flight counter
when the TRIM operation begins (in ide_issue_trim(), when the
ide_trim_bh_cb() BH is created) and decrement it when ide_trim_bh_cb()
is done.

v2:
- Increment BB’s in-flight counter while the BH is active so that
  blk_drain() will poll until the BH is done, as suggested by Paolo

(No git-backport-diff, because this patch was basically completely
rewritten, so it wouldn’t be worth it.)
