Subject: [PATCH] block: remove unused BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE
Date: Mon,  3 Feb 2025 13:25:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250203182529.269066-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)

BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE prevents BlockDriverState from being used by
virtio-blk/virtio-scsi with IOThread. Commit b112a65c52aa ("block:
declare blockjobs and dataplane friends!") eliminated the main reason
for this blocker in 2014.

Nowadays the block layer supports I/O from multiple AioContexts, so
there is even less reason to block IOThread users. Any legitimate
reasons related to interference would probably also apply to
non-IOThread users.

The only remaining users are bdrv_op_unblock(BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE)
calls after bdrv_op_block_all(). If we remove BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE
their behavior doesn't change.

Existing bdrv_op_block_all() callers that don't explicitly unblock
BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE seem to do so simply because no one bothered to
rather than because it is necessary to keep BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE
blocked.
