qemu_co_queue_restart_all is basically the same as qemu_co_enter_all
but without a QemuLockable argument. That's perfectly fine, but only as
long as the function is marked coroutine_fn. If used outside coroutine
context, qemu_co_queue_wait will attempt to take the lock and that
is just broken: if you are calling qemu_co_queue_restart_all outside
coroutine context, the lock is going to be a QemuMutex which cannot be
taken twice by the same thread.
The patch adds the marker to qemu_co_queue_restart_all and to its sole
non-coroutine_fn caller; it then reimplements the function in terms of
qemu_co_enter_all_impl, to remove duplicated code and to clarify that the
latter also works in coroutine context.

be used only in coroutine context. Introduce a new function that,
like qemu_co_enter_next, does release the lock, and use it whenever

An invariant of the current rwlock is that if multiple coroutines hold a
reader lock, all must be runnable. The unlock implementation relies on
this, choosing to wake a single coroutine when the final read lock
holder exits the critical section, assuming that it will wake a
coroutine attempting to acquire a write lock.
The downgrade implementation violates this assumption by creating a
read lock owning coroutine that is exclusively runnable - any other
coroutines that are waiting to acquire a read lock are *not* made
runnable when the write lock holder converts its ownership to read
only.
More in general, the old implementation had lots of other fairness bugs.
The root cause of the bugs was that CoQueue would wake up readers even
if there were pending writers, and would wake up writers even if there
were readers. In that case, the coroutine would go back to sleep *at
the end* of the CoQueue, losing its place at the head of the line.
To fix this, keep the queue of waiters explicitly in the CoRwlock
instead of using CoQueue, and store for each whether it is a
potential reader or a writer. This way, downgrade can look at the
first queued coroutines and wake it only if it is a reader, causing
all other readers in line to be released in turn.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")

qemu_aio_coroutine_enter() is (indirectly) called recursively when
processing co_queue_wakeup. This can lead to stack exhaustion.
This patch rewrites co_queue_wakeup in an iterative fashion (instead of
recursive) with bounded memory usage to prevent stack exhaustion.
qemu_co_queue_run_restart() is inlined into qemu_aio_coroutine_enter()
and the qemu_coroutine_enter() call is turned into a loop to avoid
recursion.
There is one change that is worth mentioning: Previously, when
coroutine A queued coroutine B, qemu_co_queue_run_restart() entered
coroutine B from coroutine A. If A was terminating then it would still
stay alive until B yielded. After this patch B is entered by A's parent
so that a A can be deleted immediately if it is terminating.
It is safe to make this change since B could never interact with A if it
was terminating anyway.

qemu_co_queue_next does not need to release and re-acquire the mutex,
because the queued coroutine does not run immediately. However, this
does not hold for qemu_co_enter_next. Now that qemu_co_queue_wait
can synchronize (via QemuLockable) with code that is not running in
coroutine context, it's important that code using qemu_co_enter_next
can easily use a standardized locking idiom.
First of all, qemu_co_enter_next must use aio_co_wake to restart the
coroutine. Second, the function gains a second argument, a QemuLockable*,
and the comments of qemu_co_queue_next and qemu_co_queue_restart_all
are adjusted to clarify the difference.

qemu_co_enter_next also needs to be thread-safe, but it cannot use

that the CoQueue can interchangeably use CoMutex or QemuMutex.

Crash can be explained by access of 'co' object from the loop inside
qemu_co_queue_run_restart():
while ((next = QSIMPLEQ_FIRST(&co->co_queue_wakeup))) {
QSIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD(&co->co_queue_wakeup, co_queue_next);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
on each iteration 'co' is accessed,
but 'co' can be already freed
qemu_coroutine_enter(next);
}
When 'next' coroutine is resumed (entered) it can in its turn resume
'co', and eventually free it. That's why we see 'co' (which was freed)
has the same address as 'elem' from the first backtrace.
The fix is obvious: use temporary queue and do not touch coroutine after
first qemu_coroutine_enter() is invoked.
The issue is quite rare and happens every ~12 hours on very high IO
and CPU load (building linux kernel with -j512 inside guest) when IO
throttling is enabled. With the fix applied guest is running ~35 hours
and is still alive so far.

Running a very small critical section on pthread_mutex_t and CoMutex
shows that pthread_mutex_t is much faster because it doesn't actually
go to sleep. What happens is that the critical section is shorter
than the latency of entering the kernel and thus FUTEX_WAIT always
fails. With CoMutex there is no such latency but you still want to
avoid wait and wakeup. So introduce it artificially.
This only works with one waiters; because CoMutex is fair, it will
always have more waits and wakeups than a pthread_mutex_t.

As a small step towards the introduction of multiqueue, we want
coroutines to remain on the same AioContext that started them,
unless they are moved explicitly with e.g. aio_co_schedule. This patch
avoids that coroutines switch AioContext when they use a CoMutex.
For now it does not make much of a difference, because the CoMutex
is not thread-safe and the AioContext itself is used to protect the
CoMutex from concurrent access. However, this is going to change.

In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and

The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y
variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by
more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine
yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the
coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely
self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a
library, making it widely available.
The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the
