[PATCH v2 0/4] block-backend: process I/O in the current AioContext

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

v2
- Add patch to remove AIOCBInfo->get_aio_context() [Kevin]
- Add patch to use qemu_get_current_aio_context() in block-coroutine-wrapper so
  that the wrappers use the current AioContext instead of
  bdrv_get_aio_context().

Switch blk_aio_*() APIs over to multi-queue by using
qemu_get_current_aio_context() instead of blk_get_aio_context(). This change
will allow devices to process I/O in multiple IOThreads in the future.

The final patch requires my QIOChannel AioContext series to pass
tests/qemu-iotests/check -qcow2 281 because the nbd block driver is now
accessed from the main loop thread in addition to the IOThread:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230823234504.1387239-1-stefanha@redhat.com/T/#t

Based-on: 20230823234504.1387239-1-stefanha@redhat.com

[PATCH v2 1/4] block: remove AIOCBInfo->get_aio_context()

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The synchronous bdrv_aio_cancel() function needs the acb's AioContext so
it can call aio_poll() to wait for cancellation.

It turns out that all users run under the BQL in the main AioContext, so
this callback is not needed.

Remove the callback, mark bdrv_aio_cancel() GLOBAL_STATE_CODE just like
its blk_aio_cancel() caller, and poll the main loop AioContext.

The purpose of this cleanup is to identify bdrv_aio_cancel() as an API
that does not work with the multi-queue block layer.

[PATCH v2 2/4] block-backend: process I/O in the current AioContext

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Switch blk_aio_*() APIs over to multi-queue by using
qemu_get_current_aio_context() instead of blk_get_aio_context(). This
change will allow devices to process I/O in multiple IOThreads in the
future.

I audited existing blk_aio_*() callers:
- migration/block.c: blk_mig_lock() protects the data accessed by the
  completion callback.
- The remaining emulated devices and exports run with
  qemu_get_aio_context() == blk_get_aio_context().

[PATCH v2 3/4] block-backend: process zoned requests in the current AioContext

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Process zoned requests in the current thread's AioContext instead of in
the BlockBackend's AioContext.

There is no need to use the BlockBackend's AioContext thanks to CoMutex
bs->wps->colock, which protects zone metadata.

[PATCH v2 4/4] block-coroutine-wrapper: use qemu_get_current_aio_context()

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Use qemu_get_current_aio_context() in mixed wrappers and coroutine
wrappers so that code runs in the caller's AioContext instead of moving
to the BlockDriverState's AioContext. This change is necessary for the
multi-queue block layer where any thread can call into the block layer.

Most wrappers are IO_CODE where it's safe to use the current AioContext
nowadays. BlockDrivers and the core block layer use their own locks and
no longer depend on the AioContext lock for thread-safety.

The bdrv_create() wrapper invokes GLOBAL_STATE code. Using the current
AioContext is safe because this code is only called with the BQL held
from the main loop thread.

The output of qemu-iotests 051 is sensitive to event loop activity.
Update the output because the monitor BH runs at a different time,
causing prompts to be printed differently in the output.

The update for 051 is actually missing from this patch, and so the test
fails.

I missed the dependency on your qio_channel series, so 281 ran into an
abort() for me (see below for the stack trace). I expect that the other
series actually fixes this, but this kind of interaction wasn't really
obvious. How did you make sure that there aren't other places that don't
like this change?
