Subject: [PATCH] async: access bottom half flags with qatomic_read
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 18:26:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013162620.995747-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

Running test-aio-multithread under TSAN reveals data races on bh->flags.
Because bottom halves may be scheduled or canceled asynchronously,
without taking a lock, adjust aio_compute_bh_timeout() and aio_ctx_check()
to use a relaxed read to access the flags.

Use an acquire load to ensure that anything that was written prior to
qemu_bh_schedule() is visible.

Resolves: #2749
Resolves: #851
