[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] block-backend: Queue requests while drained

[Kevin Wolf]

This fixes devices like IDE that can still start new requests from I/O
handlers in the CPU thread while the block backend is drained.

The basic assumption is that in a drain section, no new requests should
be allowed through a BlockBackend (blk_drained_begin/end don't exist,
we get drain sections only on the node level). However, there are two
special cases where requests should not be queued:

1. Block jobs: We already make sure that block jobs are paused in a
   drain section, so they won't start new requests. However, if the
   drain_begin is called on the job's BlockBackend first, it can happen
   that we deadlock because the job stays busy until it reaches a pause
   point - which it can't if its requests aren't processed any more.

   The proper solution here would be to make all requests through the
   job's filter node instead of using a BlockBackend. For now, just
   disabling request queuing on the job BlockBackend is simpler.

2. In test cases where making requests through bdrv_* would be
   cumbersome because we'd need a BdrvChild. As we already got the
   functionality to disable request queuing from 1., use it in tests,
   too, for convenience.
