Subject: [PATCH v3 12/13] nbd: Avoid deadlock in client connecting to same-process server
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 19:11:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113011625.878876-27-eblake@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113011625.878876-15-eblake@redhat.com>
See the previous patch for a longer description of the deadlock. Now
that QIONetListener supports waiting for clients in the main loop
AioContext, NBD can use that to ensure that the server can make
progress even when a client is intentionally starving the GMainContext
from any activity not tied to an AioContext.
Note that command-line arguments and QMP commands like
nbd-server-start or nbd-server-stop that manipulate whether the NBD
server exists are serviced in the main loop; and therefore, this patch
does not fall foul of the restrictions in the previous patch about the
inherent unsafe race possible if a QIONetListener can have its async
callback modified by a different thread than the one servicing polls.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/3169
