Using the nested aio_poll() in coroutine is a bad idea. This patch replaces the aio_poll loop in bdrv_drain with a BH, if called in coroutine. For example, the bdrv_drain() in mirror.c can hang when a guest issued request is pending on it in qemu_co_mutex_lock(). Mirror coroutine in this case has just finished a request, and the block job is about to complete. It calls bdrv_drain() which waits for the other coroutine to complete. The other coroutine is a scsi-disk request. The deadlock happens when the latter is in turn pending on the former to yield/terminate, in qemu_co_mutex_lock(). The state flow is as below (assuming a qcow2 image): mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine ------------------------------------------------------------- do last write qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock() ... scsi disk read tracked request begin qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.enter qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_unlock() bdrv_drain while (has tracked request) aio_poll() In the scsi-disk coroutine, the qemu_co_mutex_lock() will never return because the mirror coroutine is blocked in the aio_poll(blocking=true). With this patch, the added qemu_coroutine_yield() allows the scsi-disk coroutine to make progress as expected: mirror coroutine scsi-disk coroutine ------------------------------------------------------------- do last write qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock() ... scsi disk read tracked request begin qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.enter qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_unlock() bdrv_drain.enter > schedule BH > qemu_coroutine_yield() > qcow2:qemu_co_mutex_lock.return > ... tracked request end ... (resumed from BH callback) bdrv_drain.return ...
