     From the call trace, we can see that the QEMU main thread is waiting for 
the in_flight return to zero. But the in_filght never reaches 0.
     After analysis, the root cause is that the coroutine of NBD was not 
awakened. Although this bug was found in the COLO test, I think this is a
     universal problem in the QIO module. This issue also affects other modules 
depending on QIO such as NBD. We dump the following data:
     $2 = {
       in_flight = 2,
       state = NBD_CLIENT_QUIT,
       connect_status = 0,
       connect_err = 0x0,
       wait_in_flight = false,
       requests = {{
           coroutine = 0x0,
           offset = 273077071872,
           receiving = false,
         }, {
           coroutine = 0x7f1164571df0,
           offset = 498792529920,
           receiving = false,
         }, {
           coroutine = 0x0,
           offset = 500663590912,
           receiving = false,
         }, {
           ...
         } },
       reply = {
         simple = {
           magic = 1732535960,
           error = 0,
           handle = 0
         },
         structured = {
           magic = 1732535960,
           flags = 0,
           type = 0,
           handle = 0,
           length = 0
         },
         {
           magic = 1732535960,
           _skip = 0,
           handle = 0
         }
       },
       bs = 0x7f11640e2140,
       reconnect_delay = 0,
       saddr = 0x7f11640e1f80,
       export = 0x7f11640dc560 "parent0",
     }
     From the data, we can see the coroutine of NBD does not exit normally when 
killing the NBD server(we kill the Secondary VM in the COLO stress test).
     Then it will not execute in_flight--. So, the QEMU main thread will hang 
here. Further analysis, I found the coroutine of NBD will yield
     in nbd_send_request() or qio_channel_write_all() in nbd_co_send_request. 
By the way, the yield is due to the kernel return EAGAIN(under the stress test).
     However, NBD didn't know it would yield here. So, the 
nbd_recv_coroutines_wake won't wake it up because req->receiving is false. if 
the NBD server
     is terminated abnormally at the same time. The G_IO_OUT will be invalid, the 
coroutine will never be awakened. In addition, the s->ioc will be released
     immediately. if we force to wake up the coroutine of NBD, access to the 
ioc->xxx will cause segment fault. Finally, I add a state named force_quit to
     the QIOChannel to ensure that QIO will exit immediately. And I add the 
function of qio_channel_coroutines_wake to wake it up.

If qio_channel_shutdown() can't kill request that is in qio_channel_write_all() 
- it's not a reponsibility of nbd driver, qio channel layer should take care of 
this..

Or, you probably need some keep-alive settings set up.

Calling shutdown here should already be causing the qio_chanel_readv_all to 
wakeup and break out of its
poll() loop. We shouldn't need to add a second way to break out of the poll().

Calling shutdown can wake up the coroutines which is polling. But I think it's 
not enough. I tried to forcibly wake up the NBD coroutine,
It may cause segment fault. The root cause is that it will continue to access 
ioc->xxx in qio_channel_yield(), but the ioc has been released and set it NULL 
such as in
nbd_co_do_establish_connection(); I think call shutdown will have the same 
result. So, I add the force_quit, once set it true, it will immediately exit 
without accessing IOC.


What do you mean by "the NBD coroutine" and by "forcibly wake up"?

In recent Qemu there is no specific NBD coroutine. Only request coroutines 
should exist.

Forcibly waking up any coroutine is generally unsafe in Qemu, most of the code 
is not prepared for this, crash is normal result for such try.

Also, there is good mechanism to debug coroutines in gdb:

source scripts/qemu-gdb.py
qemu coroutine <coroutine pointer>

- it will dump stack trace of a coroutine, it may help.

Also, to find coroutines look at bs->tracked_requests list, all requests of bs 
are in the list with coroutine pointers in .co field.

I am sorry for the unclear description. The NBD coroutine means the request 
coroutines.

About "the forcibly wake up" I just set the receiving to true before 
qio_channel_writev_all() in nbd_co_send_request()
to ensure that the request coroutines can be awakened by 
nbd_recv_coroutine_wake_one(). But that's just a test.

The issue is, only waking up the request coroutine or shutdown the QIO is not 
enough because there will be a synchronization issue.
For example, When the NBD request coroutine is awakened in 
qio_channel_writev_full_all(), it will continue to access the ioc->xxx,
but the ioc has been set to NULL in nbd_co_do_establish_connection(); it will 
cause segment fault.

Since this is caused by QIO yielding that the upper layer is not aware of, How 
about we don't yield in QIO?
That is, when the request can't be sent, QIO can return to the caller directly, 
so the caller can decide whether to yield or not.

Thanks,
Lei

Isn't this code path just missing a qio_channel_shutdown call or a 
qio_channel_close call to make the socket trigger wakeup from poll.

I don't think it can solve the bug even if it is added, the reason is as above.

None of this should be needed AFAICT, as the poll/coroutine code shuld already 
break out of poll if the socket is closed, or is marked shutdown.
