Submission of requests on linux aio is a bit tricky and can lead to
requests completions on submission path:
44713c9e85 ("linux-aio: Handle io_submit() failure gracefully")
0ed93d84ed ("linux-aio: process completions from ioq_submit()")
That means that any coroutine which has been yielded in order to wait
for completion can be resumed from submission path and be eventually
terminated (freed).
The following use-after-free crash was observed when IO throttling
was enabled:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

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.

This adds a CoMutex around the existing CoQueue. Because the write-side
can just take CoMutex, the old "writer" field is not necessary anymore.
Instead of removing it altogether, count the number of pending writers
during a read-side critical section and forbid further readers from
entering.

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.

This uses the lock-free mutex described in the paper '"Blocking without
Locking", or LFTHREADS: A lock-free thread library' by Gidenstam and
Papatriantafilou. The same technique is used in OSv, and in fact
the code is essentially a conversion to C of OSv's code.

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.

A coroutine that takes a lock must also release it again. If the
coroutine terminates without having released all its locks, it's buggy
and we'll probably run into a deadlock sooner or later. Make sure that
we don't get such cases.

In cases of deadlocks, knowing who holds a given CoMutex is really
helpful for debugging. Keeping the information around doesn't cost much
and allows us to add another assertion to keep the code correct, so
let's just add it.

In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.
Mostly done with the following semantic patch:
@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;
@@
- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);

expression entry, arg;
identifier co;

- Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);

except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch
stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

CoQueue do not need to remove any element but the head of the list;
processing is always strictly FIFO. Therefore, the simpler singly-linked
QSIMPLEQ can be used instead.

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
include/block directory, since they are now part of the util
codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory
either.
