aio: strengthen memory barriers for bottom half scheduling There are two problems with memory barriers in async.c. The fix is to use atomic_xchg in order to achieve sequential consistency between the scheduling of a bottom half and the corresponding execution. First, if bh->scheduled is already 1 in qemu_bh_schedule, QEMU does not execute a memory barrier to order any writes needed by the callback before the read of bh->scheduled. If the other side sees req->state as THREAD_ACTIVE, the callback is not invoked and you get deadlock. Second, the memory barrier in aio_bh_poll is too weak. Without this patch, it is possible that bh->scheduled = 0 is not "published" until after the callback has returned. Another thread wants to schedule the bottom half, but it sees bh->scheduled = 1 and does nothing. This causes a lost wakeup. The memory barrier should have been changed to smp_mb() in commit 924fe12 (aio: fix qemu_bh_schedule() bh->ctx race condition, 2014-06-03) together with qemu_bh_schedule()'s. Guess who reviewed that patch? Both of these involve a store and a load, so they are reproducible on x86_64 as well. It is however much easier on aarch64, where the libguestfs test suite triggers the bug fairly easily. Even there the failure can go away or appear depending on compiler optimization level, tracing options, or even kernel debugging options. Paul Leveille however reported how to trigger the problem within 15 minutes on x86_64 as well. His (untested) recipe, reproduced here for reference, is the following: 1) Qcow2 (or 3) is critical – raw files alone seem to avoid the problem. 2) Use “cache=directsync” rather than the default of “cache=none” to make it happen easier. 3) Use a server with a write-back RAID controller to allow for rapid IO rates. 4) Run a random-access load that (mostly) writes chunks to various files on the virtual block device. a. I use ‘diskload.exe c:25’, a Microsoft HCT load generator, on Windows VMs. b. Iometer can probably be configured to generate a similar load. 5) Run multiple VMs in parallel, against the same storage device, to shake the failure out sooner. 6) IvyBridge and Haswell processors for certain; not sure about others. A similar patch survived over 12 hours of testing, where an unpatched QEMU would fail within 15 minutes. This bug is, most likely, also the cause of failures in the libguestfs testsuite on AArch64. Thanks to Laszlo Ersek for initially reporting this bug, to Stefan Hajnoczi for suggesting closer examination of qemu_bh_schedule, and to Paul for providing test input and a prototype patch.
