This is expected; unfortunately cancellation right now is a synchronous
operation in the block layer. SCSI is the first big user of
cancellation, and it would indeed benefit from asynchronous cancellation.
Without these three patches, you risk corruption in case the following
happens:
qemu target
-----------------------------------
send unmap -------->
cancel unmap ------>
send write -------->
<---------------- complete write
<unmap just written sector>
<---------------- complete unmap
<---------------- cancellation done (unmap complete)
