Subject: [PULL 02/32] block: Clarify locking rules for bdrv_open(_inherit)()
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 18:32:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230530163239.576632-3-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230530163239.576632-1-kwolf@redhat.com>

These functions specify that the caller must hold the "@filename
AioContext lock". This doesn't make sense, file names don't have an
AioContext. New BlockDriverStates always start in the main AioContext,
so this is what we really need here.
