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.

When draining a block node, we recurse to its parent and for subtree
drains also to its children. A single AIO_WAIT_WHILE() is then used to
wait for bdrv_drain_poll() to become true, which depends on all of the
nodes we recursed to. However, if the respective child or parent becomes
quiescent and calls bdrv_wakeup(), only the AioWait of the child/parent
is checked, while AIO_WAIT_WHILE() depends on the AioWait of the
original node.
Fix this by using a single AioWait for all callers of AIO_WAIT_WHILE().
This may mean that the draining thread gets a few more unnecessary
wakeups because an unrelated operation got completed, but we already
wake it up when something _could_ have changed rather than only if it
has certainly changed.
Apart from that, drain is a slow path anyway. In theory it would be
possible to use wakeups more selectively and still correctly, but the
gains are likely not worth the additional complexity. In fact, this
patch is a nice simplification for some places in the code.

bdrv_drain_poll_top_level() was buggy because it didn't release the
AioContext lock of the node to be drained before calling aio_poll().
This way, callbacks called by aio_poll() would possibly take the lock a
second time and run into a deadlock with a nested AIO_WAIT_WHILE() call.
However, it turns out that the aio_poll() call isn't actually needed any
more. It was introduced in commit 91af091f92, which is effectively
reverted by this patch. The cases it was supposed to fix are now covered
by bdrv_drain_poll(), which waits for block jobs to reach a quiescent

Commit dcf94a23b1 ('block: Don't poll in parent drain callbacks')
removed polling in bdrv_child_cb_drained_begin() on the grounds that the
original bdrv_drain() already will poll and BdrvChildRole.drained_begin
calls must not cause graph changes (and therefore must not call
aio_poll() or the recursion through the graph will break.
This reasoning is correct for calls through bdrv_do_drained_begin().
However, BdrvChildRole.drained_begin is also called when a node that is
already in a drained section (i.e. bdrv_do_drained_begin() has already
returned and therefore can't poll any more) is attached to a new parent.
In this case, we must explicitly poll to have all requests completed
before the drained new child can be attached to the parent.
In bdrv_replace_child_noperm(), we know that we're not inside the
recursion of bdrv_do_drained_begin() because graph changes are not
allowed there, and bdrv_replace_child_noperm() is a graph change. The
call of BdrvChildRole.drained_begin() must therefore be followed by a
BDRV_POLL_WHILE() that waits for the completion of requests.

bdrv_drain_all_*() used bdrv_next() to iterate over all root nodes and
did a subtree drain for each of them. This works fine as long as the
graph is static, but sadly, reality looks different.
If the graph changes so that root nodes are added or removed, we would
have to compensate for this. bdrv_next() returns each root node only
once even if it's the root node for multiple BlockBackends or for a
monitor-owned block driver tree, which would only complicate things.
The much easier and more obviously correct way is to fundamentally
change the way the functions work: Iterate over all BlockDriverStates,
no matter who owns them, and drain them individually. Compensation is
only necessary when a new BDS is created inside a drain_all section.
Removal of a BDS doesn't require any action because it's gone afterwards

unnecessary work and would make it an O(n²) operation.
Prepare the drain function for the changed drain_all by adding an

propagate it to non-BDS parents like BlockBackends or Jobs because those

BlockDriverState has the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() macro to wait on event loop
activity while a condition evaluates to true. This is used to implement
synchronous operations where it acts as a condvar between the IOThread
running the operation and the main loop waiting for the operation. It
can also be called from the thread that owns the AioContext and in that
case it's just a nested event loop.
BlockBackend needs this behavior but doesn't always have a
BlockDriverState it can use. This patch extracts BDRV_POLL_WHILE() into
the AioWait abstraction, which can be used with AioContext and isn't
tied to BlockDriverState anymore.
This feature could be built directly into AioContext but then all users
would kick the event loop even if they signal different conditions.
Imagine an AioContext with many BlockDriverStates, each time a request
completes any waiter would wake up and re-check their condition. It's
nicer to keep a separate AioWait object for each condition instead.
Please see "block/aio-wait.h" for details on the API.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Now that all drivers have been updated to provide the
byte-based .bdrv_co_block_status(), we can delete the sector-based
interface.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Update the generic helpers, and all passthrough clients
(blkdebug, commit, mirror, throttle) accordingly.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Now that the block layer exposes byte-based allocation,
it's time to tackle the drivers. Add a new callback that operates
on as small as byte boundaries. Subsequent patches will then update
individual drivers, then finally remove .bdrv_co_get_block_status().
The new code also passes through the 'want_zero' hint, which will
allow subsequent patches to further optimize callers that only care
about how much of the image is allocated (want_zero is false),
rather than full details about runs of zeroes and which offsets the
allocation actually maps to (want_zero is true). As part of this
effort, fix another part of the documentation: the claim in commit
4c41cb4 that BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED is short for 'DATA || ZERO' is a
lie at the block layer (see commit e88ae2264), even though it is
how the bit is computed from the driver layer. After all, there
are intentionally cases where we return ZERO but not ALLOCATED at
the block layer, when we know that a read sees zero because the
backing file is too short. Note that the driver interface is thus
slightly different than the public interface with regards to which
bits will be set, and what guarantees are provided on input.
We also add an assertion that any driver using the new callback will
make progress (the only time pnum will be 0 is if the block layer
already handled an out-of-bounds request, or if there is an error);
the old driver interface did not provide this guarantee, which
could lead to some inf-loops in drastic corner-case failures.
