Subject: [PATCH v2 08/19] nvme: Fix coroutine waking
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:48:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110154854.151484-9-hreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110154854.151484-1-hreitz@redhat.com>
nvme wakes the request coroutine via qemu_coroutine_enter() from a BH
scheduled in the BDS AioContext. This may not be the same context as
the one in which the request originally ran, which would be wrong:
- It could mean we enter the coroutine before it yields,
- We would move the coroutine in to a different context.
(Can be reproduced with multiqueue by adding a usleep(100000) before the
`while (data.ret == -EINPROGRESS)` loop.)
To fix that, use aio_co_wake() to run the coroutine in its home context.
Just like in the preceding iscsi and nfs patches, we can drop the
trivial nvme_rw_cb_bh() and use aio_co_wake() directly.
With this, we can remove NVMeCoData.ctx.
Note the check of data->co == NULL to bypass the BH/yield combination in
case nvme_rw_cb() is called from nvme_submit_command(): We probably want
to keep this fast path for performance reasons, but we have to be quite
careful about it:
- We cannot overload .ret for this, but have to use a dedicated
.skip_yield field. Otherwise, if nvme_rw_cb() runs in a different
thread than the coroutine, it may see .ret set and skip the yield,
while nvme_rw_cb() will still schedule a BH for waking. Therefore,
the signal to skip the yield can only be set in nvme_rw_cb() if waking
too is skipped, which is independent from communicating the return
value.
- We can only skip the yield if nvme_rw_cb() actually runs in the
request coroutine. Otherwise (specifically if they run in different
AioContexts), the order between this function’s execution and the
coroutine yielding (or not yielding) is not reliable.
- There is no point to yielding in a loop; there are no spurious wakes,
so once we yield, we will only be re-entered once the command is done.
Replace `while` by `if`.
