These patches aim to solve two types of DMA-reentrancy issues: 1.) mmio -> dma -> mmio case To solve this, we track whether the device is engaged in io by checking/setting a reentrancy-guard within APIs used for MMIO access.
2.) bh -> dma write -> mmio case This case is trickier, since we dont have a generic way to associate a bh with the underlying Device/DeviceState. Thus, this version allows a device to associate a reentrancy-guard with a bh, when creating it. (Instead of calling qemu_bh_new, you call qemu_bh_new_guarded) I replaced most of the qemu_bh_new invocations with the guarded analog, except for the ones where the DeviceState was not trivially accessible v4-> v5: - Add corresponding checkpatch checks - Save/restore reentrancy-flag when entering/exiting BHs - Improve documentation - Check object_dynamic_cast return value v3 -> v4: Instead of changing all of the DMA APIs, instead add an optional reentrancy guard to the BH API. v2 -> v3: Bite the bullet and modify the DMA APIs, rather than attempting to guess DeviceStates in BHs. Alexander Bulekov (4): memory: prevent dma-reentracy issues async: Add an optional reentrancy guard to the BH API checkpatch: add qemu_bh_new/aio_bh_new checks hw: replace most qemu_bh_new calls with qemu_bh_new_guarded docs/devel/multiple-iothreads.txt | 7 +++++++ hw/9pfs/xen-9p-backend.c | 4 +++- hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c | 3 ++- hw/block/dataplane/xen-block.c | 5 +++-- hw/block/virtio-blk.c | 5 +++-- hw/char/virtio-serial-bus.c | 3 ++- hw/display/qxl.c | 9 ++++++--- hw/display/virtio-gpu.c | 6 ++++-- hw/ide/ahci.c | 3 ++- hw/ide/core.c | 3 ++- hw/misc/imx_rngc.c | 6 ++++-- hw/misc/macio/mac_dbdma.c | 2 +- hw/net/virtio-net.c | 3 ++- hw/nvme/ctrl.c | 6 ++++-- hw/scsi/mptsas.c | 3 ++- hw/scsi/scsi-bus.c | 3 ++- hw/scsi/vmw_pvscsi.c | 3 ++- hw/usb/dev-uas.c | 3 ++- hw/usb/hcd-dwc2.c | 3 ++- hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c | 3 ++- hw/usb/hcd-uhci.c | 2 +- hw/usb/host-libusb.c | 6 ++++-- hw/usb/redirect.c | 6 ++++-- hw/usb/xen-usb.c | 3 ++- hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c | 5 +++-- hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c | 3 ++- include/block/aio.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- include/hw/qdev-core.h | 7 +++++++ include/qemu/main-loop.h | 7 +++++-- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 8 ++++++++ softmmu/memory.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ softmmu/trace-events | 1 + tests/unit/ptimer-test-stubs.c | 3 ++- util/async.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- util/main-loop.c | 5 +++-- util/trace-events | 1 + 36 files changed, 150 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- 2.39.0
