Subject: [PULL 06/19] gluster: Do not move coroutine into BDS context
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 18:02:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118170256.272087-7-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118170256.272087-1-kwolf@redhat.com>

From: Hanna Czenczek <hreitz@redhat.com>

The request coroutine may not run in the BDS AioContext.  We should wake
it in its own context, not move it.

With that, we can remove GlusterAIOCB.aio_context.

Also add a comment why aio_co_schedule() is safe to use in this way.

**Note:** Due to a lack of a gluster set-up, I have not tested this
commit.  It seemed safe enough to send anyway, just maybe not to
qemu-stable.  To be clear, I don’t know of any user-visible bugs that
would arise from the state without this patch; the request coroutine is
moved into the main BDS AioContext, so guest device completion code will
run in a different context than where the request started, which can’t
be good, but I haven’t actually confirmed any bugs (due to not being
able to test it).
