[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 02/18] block: stop relying on io_flush() in bdrv_drain_all()

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

If a block driver has no file descriptors to monitor but there are still
active requests, it can return 1 from .io_flush().  This is used to spin
during synchronous I/O.

Stop relying on .io_flush() and instead check
QLIST_EMPTY(&bs->tracked_requests) to decide whether there are active
requests.

This is the first step in removing .io_flush() so that event loops no
longer need to have the concept of synchronous I/O.  Eventually we may
be able to kill synchronous I/O completely by running everything in a
coroutine, but that is future work.

Note this patch moves bs->throttled_reqs initialization to bdrv_new() so
that bdrv_requests_pending(bs) can safely access it.  In practice bs is
g_malloc0() so the memory is already zeroed but it's safer to initialize
the queue properly.

We also need to fix up block/stream.c:close_unused_images() to prevent
traversing a dangling pointer while it rearranges the backing file
chain.  This is necessary since the new bdrv_drain_all() traverses the
backing file chain.
