BDRV_POLL_WHILE waits for the started I/O by releasing bs's ctx then polling
the main context, which relies on the yielded coroutine continuing on bs->ctx
before notifying qemu_aio_context with bdrv_wakeup().
Thus, using qemu_coroutine_enter to start I/O is wrong because if the coroutine
is entered from main loop, co->ctx will be qemu_aio_context, as a result of the
"release, poll, acquire" loop of BDRV_POLL_WHILE, race conditions happen when
both main thread and the iothread access the same BDS:
main loop iothread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
blockdev_snapshot
aio_context_acquire(bs->ctx)
virtio_scsi_data_plane_handle_cmd
bdrv_drained_begin(bs->ctx)
bdrv_flush(bs)
bdrv_co_flush(bs) aio_context_acquire(bs->ctx).enter
...
qemu_coroutine_yield(co)
BDRV_POLL_WHILE()
aio_context_release(bs->ctx)
aio_context_acquire(bs->ctx).return
...
aio_co_wake(co)
aio_poll(qemu_aio_context) ...
co_schedule_bh_cb() ...
qemu_coroutine_enter(co) ...
/* (A) bdrv_co_flush(bs) /* (B) I/O on bs */
continues... */
aio_context_release(bs->ctx)
aio_context_acquire(bs->ctx)
Note that in above case, bdrv_drained_begin() doesn't do the "release,
poll, acquire" in BDRV_POLL_WHILE, because bs->in_flight == 0.
Fix this by using bdrv_coroutine_enter and enter coroutine in the right
context.
iotests 109 output is updated because the coroutine reenter flow during
mirror job complete is different (now through co_queue_wakeup, instead
of the unconditional qemu_coroutine_switch before), making the end job
len different.
