From: Kevin Wolf <kw...@redhat.com>
Request callbacks can do pretty much anything, including operations that
will yield from the coroutine (such as draining the backend). In that
case, a decreased in_flight would be visible to other code and could
lead to a drain completing while the callback hasn't actually completed
yet.
Note that reordering these operations forbids calling drain directly
inside an AIO callback. As Paolo explains, indirectly calling it is
okay:
- Calling it through a coroutine is okay, because then
bdrv_drained_begin() goes through bdrv_co_yield_to_drain() and you
have in_flight=2 when bdrv_co_yield_to_drain() yields, then soon
in_flight=1 when the aio_co_wake() in the AIO callback completes, then
in_flight=0 after the bottom half starts.
- Calling it through a bottom half would be okay too, as long as the AIO
callback remembers to do inc_in_flight/dec_in_flight just like
bdrv_co_yield_to_drain() and bdrv_co_drain_bh_cb() do
A few more important cases that come to mind:
- A coroutine that yields because of I/O is okay, with a sequence
similar to bdrv_co_yield_to_drain().
- A coroutine that yields with no I/O pending will correctly decrease
in_flight to zero before yielding.
- Calling more AIO from the callback won't overflow the counter just
because of mutual recursion, because AIO functions always yield at
least once before invoking the callback.
