bdrv_swap() is unused now. Remove it and all functions that have
no other users than bdrv_swap(). In particular, this removes the
.bdrv_rebind callbacks from block drivers.

If the head of a list has been moved to a different memory location, the
le_prev link in the first list entry has to be fixed up. Provide a macro
that implements this fixup.

There is a not-so-subtle race in QSLIST_INSERT_HEAD_ATOMIC.
Because atomic_cmpxchg returns the old value instead of a success flag,
QSLIST_INSERT_HEAD_ATOMIC was checking for success by comparing against
the second argument to atomic_cmpxchg. Unfortunately, this only works
if the second argument is a local or thread-local variable.
If it is in memory, it can be subject to common subexpression elimination
(and then everything's fine) or reloaded after the atomic_cmpxchg,
depending on the compiler's whims. If the latter happens, the race can
happen. A thread can sneak in, doing something on elm->field.sle_next
after the atomic_cmpxchg and before the comparison. This causes a wrong
failure, and then two threads are using "elm" at the same time. In the
case discovered by Christian, the sequence was likely something like this:
thread 1 | thread 2
QSLIST_INSERT_HEAD_ATOMIC |
atomic_cmpxchg succeeds |
elm added to list |
| steal release_pool
| QSLIST_REMOVE_HEAD
| elm removed from list
| ...
| QSLIST_INSERT_HEAD_ATOMIC
| (overwrites sle_next)
spurious failure |
atomic_cmpxchg succeeds |
elm added to list again |
|
steal release_pool |
QSLIST_REMOVE_HEAD |
elm removed again |
The last three steps could be done by a third thread as well.
A reproducer that failed in a matter of seconds is as follows:
- the guest has 32 VCPUs on a 28 core host (hyperthreading was enabled),
memory was 16G just to err on the safe side (the host has 64G, but hey
at least you need no s390)
- the guest has 24 null-aio virtio-blk devices using dataplane
(-object iothread,id=ioN -drive if=none,id=blkN,driver=null-aio,size=500G
-device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=ioN,drive=blkN)
- the guest also has a single network interface. It's only doing loopback
tests so slirp vs. tap and the model doesn't matter.
- the guest is running fio with the following script:

Moral of the story: I should refrain from writing more clever stuff.
At least it looks like it is not too clever to be undebuggable.

Add RCU-enabled variants on the existing bsd DQ facility. Each
operation has the same interface as the existing (non-RCU)
version. Also, each operation is implemented as macro.
Using the RCU-enabled QLIST, existing QLIST users will be able to
convert to RCU without using a different list interface.

This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes
are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2)
removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu,
which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in
synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is
the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require
liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows.
Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.

These operations are trivial to implement and do not have ABA problems.
They are enough to implement simple multiple-producer, single consumer
lock-free lists or, as in the next patch, the multiple consumers can
steal a whole batch of elements and process them at their leisure.
