Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

This patch rewrites the ctx->dispatching optimization, which was the cause
of some mysterious hangs that could be reproduced on aarch64 KVM only.
The hangs were indirectly caused by aio_poll() and in particular by
flash memory updates's call to blk_write(), which invokes aio_poll().
Fun stuff: they had an extremely short race window, so much that
adding all kind of tracing to either the kernel or QEMU made it
go away (a single printf made it half as reproducible).
On the plus side, the failure mode (a hang until the next keypress)
made it very easy to examine the state of the process with a debugger.
And there was a very nice reproducer from Laszlo, which failed pretty
often (more than half of the time) on any version of QEMU with a non-debug
kernel; it also failed fast, while still in the firmware. So, it could
have been worse.
For some unknown reason they happened only with virtio-scsi, but
that's not important. It's more interesting that they disappeared with
io=native, making thread-pool.c a likely suspect for where the bug arose.
thread-pool.c is also one of the few places which use bottom halves
across threads, by the way.
I hope that no other similar bugs exist, but just in case :) I am
going to describe how the successful debugging went... Since the
likely culprit was the ctx->dispatching optimization, which mostly
affects bottom halves, the first observation was that there are two
qemu_bh_schedule() invocations in the thread pool: the one in the aio
worker and the one in thread_pool_completion_bh. The latter always
causes the optimization to trigger, the former may or may not. In
order to restrict the possibilities, I introduced new functions
qemu_bh_schedule_slow() and qemu_bh_schedule_fast():
/* qemu_bh_schedule_slow: */
ctx = bh->ctx;
bh->idle = 0;
if (atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1) == 0) {
event_notifier_set(&ctx->notifier);
}
/* qemu_bh_schedule_fast: */
ctx = bh->ctx;
bh->idle = 0;
assert(ctx->dispatching);
atomic_xchg(&bh->scheduled, 1);
Notice how the atomic_xchg is still in qemu_bh_schedule_slow(). This
was already debated a few months ago, so I assumed it to be correct.
In retrospect this was a very good idea, as you'll see later.
Changing thread_pool_completion_bh() to qemu_bh_schedule_fast() didn't
trigger the assertion (as expected). Changing the worker's invocation
to qemu_bh_schedule_slow() didn't hide the bug (another assumption
which luckily held). This already limited heavily the amount of
interaction between the threads, hinting that the problematic events
must have triggered around thread_pool_completion_bh().
As mentioned early, invoking a debugger to examine the state of a
hung process was pretty easy; the iothread was always waiting on a
poll(..., -1) system call. Infinite timeouts are much rarer on x86,
and this could be the reason why the bug was never observed there.
With the buggy sequence more or less resolved to an interaction between
thread_pool_completion_bh() and poll(..., -1), my "tracing" strategy was
to just add a few qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME) calls, hoping
that the ordering of aio_ctx_prepare(), aio_ctx_dispatch, poll() and
qemu_bh_schedule_fast() would provide some hint. The output was:
(gdb) p last_prepare
$3 = 103885451
(gdb) p last_dispatch
$4 = 103876492
(gdb) p last_poll
$5 = 115909333
(gdb) p last_schedule
$6 = 115925212
Notice how the last call to qemu_poll_ns() came after aio_ctx_dispatch().
This makes little sense unless there is an aio_poll() call involved,
and indeed with a slightly different instrumentation you can see that
there is one:
(gdb) p last_prepare
$3 = 107569679
(gdb) p last_dispatch
$4 = 107561600
(gdb) p last_aio_poll
$5 = 110671400
(gdb) p last_schedule
$6 = 110698917
So the scenario becomes clearer:
iothread VCPU thread
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
aio_ctx_prepare
aio_ctx_check
qemu_poll_ns(timeout=-1)
aio_poll
aio_dispatch
thread_pool_completion_bh
qemu_bh_schedule()
At this point bh->scheduled = 1 and the iothread has not been woken up.
The solution must be close, but this alone should not be a problem,
because the bottom half is only rescheduled to account for rare situations
(see commit 3c80ca1, thread-pool: avoid deadlock in nested aio_poll()
calls, 2014-07-15).
Introducing a third thread---a thread pool worker thread, which
also does qemu_bh_schedule()---does bring out the problematic case.
The third thread must be awakened *after* the callback is complete and
thread_pool_completion_bh has redone the whole loop, explaining the
short race window. And then this is what happens:
thread pool worker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<I/O completes>
qemu_bh_schedule()
Tada, bh->scheduled is already 1, so qemu_bh_schedule() does nothing
and the iothread is never woken up. This is where the bh->scheduled
optimization comes into play---it is correct, but removing it would
have masked the bug.
So, what is the bug?
Well, the question asked by the ctx->dispatching optimization ("is any
active aio_poll dispatching?") was wrong. The right question to ask
instead is "is any active aio_poll *not* dispatching", i.e. in the prepare
or poll phases? In that case, the aio_poll is sleeping or might go to
sleep anytime soon, and the EventNotifier must be invoked to wake
it up.
In any other case (including if there is *no* active aio_poll at all!)
we can just wait for the next prepare phase to pick up the event (e.g. a
bottom half); the prepare phase will avoid the blocking and service the
bottom half.
Expressing the invariant with a logic formula, the broken one looked like:
!(exists(thread): in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize
or equivalently:
!(exists(thread):
in_aio_poll(thread) && in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize
In the correct one, the negation is in a slightly different place:
(exists(thread):
in_aio_poll(thread) && !in_dispatching(thread)) => !optimize
or equivalently:
(exists(thread): in_prepare_or_poll(thread)) => !optimize
Even if the difference boils down to moving an exclamation mark :)
the implementation is quite different. However, I think the new
one is simpler to understand.
In the old implementation, the "exists" was implemented with a boolean
value. This didn't really support well the case of multiple concurrent
event loops, but I thought that this was okay: aio_poll holds the
AioContext lock so there cannot be concurrent aio_poll invocations, and
I was just considering nested event loops. However, aio_poll _could_
indeed be concurrent with the GSource. This is why I came up with the
wrong invariant.
In the new implementation, "exists" is computed simply by counting how many
threads are in the prepare or poll phases. There are some interesting
points to consider, but the gist of the idea remains:
1) AioContext can be used through GSource as well; as mentioned in the
patch, bit 0 of the counter is reserved for the GSource.
2) the counter need not be updated for a non-blocking aio_poll, because
it won't sleep forever anyway. This is just a matter of checking
the "blocking" variable. This requires some changes to the win32
implementation, but is otherwise not too complicated.
3) as mentioned above, the new implementation will not call aio_notify
when there is *no* active aio_poll at all. The tests have to be
adjusted for this change. The calls to aio_notify in async.c are fine;
they only want to kick aio_poll out of a blocking wait, but need not
do anything if aio_poll is not running.
4) nested aio_poll: these just work with the new implementation; when
a nested event loop is invoked, the outer event loop is never in the
prepare or poll phases. The outer event loop thus has already decremented
the counter.

On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization
of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any
error information to the user.
The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open
files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit.
The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while
QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of
open files.

Currently, whenever aio_poll(ctx, true) has completed all pending
work it returns true *and* the next call to aio_poll(ctx, true)
will not block.
This invariant has its roots in qemu_aio_flush()'s implementation
as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}". However, qemu_aio_flush() does
not exist anymore and bdrv_drain_all() is implemented differently;
and this invariant is complicated to maintain and subtly different
from the return value of GMainLoop's g_main_context_iteration.
All calls to aio_poll(ctx, true) except one are guarded by a
while() loop checking for a request to be incomplete, or a
BlockDriverState to be idle. The one remaining call (in
iothread.c) uses this to delay the aio_context_release/acquire
pair until the AioContext is quiescent, however:
- we can do the same just by using non-blocking aio_poll,
similar to how vl.c invokes main_loop_wait
- it is buggy, because it does not ensure that the AioContext
is released between an aio_notify and the next time the
iothread goes to sleep. This leads to hangs when stopping
the dataplane thread.
In the end, these semantics are a bad match for the current
users of AioContext. So modify that one exception in iothread.c,
which also fixes the hangs, as well as the testcase so that
it use the same idiom as the actual QEMU code.

It can be useful to run an AioContext from a thread which normally does
not "own" the AioContext. For example, request draining can be
implemented by acquiring the AioContext and looping aio_poll() until all
requests have been completed.
The following pattern should work:
/* Event loop thread */
while (running) {
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
aio_poll(ctx, true);
aio_context_release(ctx);
}
/* Another thread */
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
bdrv_read(bs, 0x1000, buf, 1);
aio_context_release(ctx);
This patch implements aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release().
Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about
acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will
call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

This patch drops a special case where aio_poll(ctx, true) returns false
instead of blocking if no file descriptors are waiting on I/O. Now it
is possible to block in aio_poll() to wait for aio_notify().
This change eliminates busy waiting. bdrv_drain_all() used to rely on
busy waiting to completed throttled I/O requests but this is no longer
required so we can simplify aio_poll().
Note that aio_poll() still returns false when aio_notify() was used. In
other words, stopping a blocking aio_poll() wait is not considered
making progress.
Adjust test-aio /aio/bh/callback-delete/one which assumed aio_poll(ctx,
true) would immediately return false instead of blocking.

Now that aio_poll() users check their termination condition themselves,
it is no longer necessary to call .io_flush() handlers.
The behavior of aio_poll() changes as follows:
1. .io_flush() is no longer invoked and file descriptors are *always*
monitored. Previously returning 0 from .io_flush() would skip this file
descriptor.
Due to this change it is essential to check that requests are pending
before calling qemu_aio_wait(). Failure to do so means we block, for
example, waiting for an idle iSCSI socket to become readable when there
are no requests. Currently all qemu_aio_wait()/aio_poll() callers check
before calling.
2. aio_poll() now returns true if progress was made (BH or fd handlers
executed) and false otherwise. Previously it would return true whenever
'busy', which means that .io_flush() returned true. The 'busy' concept
no longer exists so just progress is returned.
Due to this change we need to update tests/test-aio.c which asserts
aio_poll() return values. Note that QEMU doesn't actually rely on these
return values so only tests/test-aio.c cares.
Note that ctx->notifier, the EventNotifier fd used for aio_notify(), is
now handled as a special case. This is a little ugly but maintains
aio_poll() semantics, i.e. aio_notify() does not count as 'progress' and
aio_poll() avoids blocking when the user has not set any fd handlers yet.
Patches after this remove .io_flush() handler code until we can finally
drop the io_flush arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and friends.

assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
