    aio: add missing aio_notify() to aio_enable_external() · 321d1dba
    Stefan Hajnoczi authored
    
    
    The main loop uses aio_disable_external()/aio_enable_external() to
    temporarily disable processing of external AioContext clients like
    device emulation.
    
    This allows monitor commands to quiesce I/O and prevent the guest from
    submitting new requests while a monitor command is in progress.
    
    The aio_enable_external() API is currently broken when an IOThread is in
    aio_poll() waiting for fd activity when the main loop re-enables
    external clients.  Incrementing ctx->external_disable_cnt does not wake
    the IOThread from ppoll(2) so fd processing remains suspended and leads
    to unresponsive emulated devices.
    
    This patch adds an aio_notify() call to aio_enable_external() so the
    IOThread is kicked out of ppoll(2) and will re-arm the file descriptors.
    
    The bug can be reproduced as follows:
    
      $ qemu -M accel=kvm -m 1024 \
             -object iothread,id=iothread0 \
             -device virtio-scsi-pci,iothread=iothread0,id=virtio-scsi-pci0 \
             -drive if=none,id=drive0,aio=native,cache=none,format=raw,file=test.img \
             -device scsi-hd,id=scsi-hd0,drive=drive0 \
             -qmp tcp::5555,server,nowait
    
      $ scripts/qmp/qmp-shell localhost:5555
      (qemu) blockdev-snapshot-sync device=drive0 snapshot-file=sn1.qcow2
             mode=absolute-paths format=qcow2
    
    After blockdev-snapshot-sync completes the SCSI disk will be
    unresponsive.  This leads to request timeouts inside the guest.
