A node should only be in a non-default AioContext if a user is attached
to it that requires this. When the last parent of a node is gone, it can
move back to the main AioContext.

Test that BlockBackends preserve their assigned AioContext even when the
root node goes away. Inserting a new root node will move it to the right
AioContext.

Opening a new parent node for a node that has already been moved into a
different AioContext must cause the new parent to move into the same
context.

This adds a new parameter to blk_new() which requires its callers to
declare from which AioContext this BlockBackend is going to be used (or
the locks of which AioContext need to be taken anyway).
The given context is only stored and kept up to date when changing
AioContexts. Actually applying the stored AioContext to the root node
is saved for another commit.

Add an Error parameter to blk_set_aio_context() and use
bdrv_child_try_set_aio_context() internally to check whether all
involved nodes can actually support the AioContext switch.

Just make the test cover the AioContext of the filter node as well.

This tests that a job coroutine always runs in the right iothread after
the AioContext of its main node has changed.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
In the block layer, synchronous APIs are often implemented by creating a
coroutine that calls the asynchronous coroutine-based implementation and
then waiting for completion with BDRV_POLL_WHILE().
For this to work with iothreads (more specifically, when the synchronous
API is called in a thread that is not the home thread of the block
device, so that the coroutine will run in a different thread), we must
make sure to call aio_wait_kick() at the end of the operation. Many
places are missing this, so that BDRV_POLL_WHILE() keeps hanging even if
the condition has long become false.
Note that bdrv_dec_in_flight() involves an aio_wait_kick() call. This
corresponds to the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in the drain functions, but it is
generally not enough for most other operations because they haven't set
the return value in the coroutine entry stub yet. To avoid race
conditions there, we need to kick after setting the return value.
The race window is small enough that the problem doesn't usually surface
in the common path. However, it does surface and causes easily
reproducible hangs if the operation can return early before even calling
bdrv_inc/dec_in_flight, which many of them do (trivial error or no-op
success paths).
The bug in bdrv_truncate(), bdrv_check() and bdrv_invalidate_cache() is
slightly different: These functions even neglected to schedule the
coroutine in the home thread of the node. This avoids the hang, but is
obviously wrong, too. Fix those to schedule the coroutine in the right
AioContext in addition to adding aio_wait_kick() calls.
