v9fs_walk() utilizes the v9fs_co_run_in_worker({...}) macro to run the
supplied fs driver code block on a background worker thread.
When either the 'Twalk' client request was interrupted or if the client
requested fid for that 'Twalk' request caused a stat error then that
fs driver code block was left by 'break' keyword, with the intention to
return from worker thread back to main thread as well:
v9fs_co_run_in_worker({
if (v9fs_request_cancelled(pdu)) {
err = -EINTR;
break;
}
err = s->ops->lstat(&s->ctx, &dpath, &fidst);
if (err < 0) {
err = -errno;
break;
}
...
});
However that 'break;' statement also skipped the v9fs_co_run_in_worker()
macro's final and mandatory
/* re-enter back to qemu thread */
qemu_coroutine_yield();
call and thus caused the rest of v9fs_walk() to be continued being
executed on the worker thread instead of main thread, eventually
leading to a crash in the transport virtio transport driver.
To fix this issue and to prevent the same error from happening again by
other users of v9fs_co_run_in_worker() in future, auto wrap the supplied
code block into its own
do { } while (0);
loop inside the 'v9fs_co_run_in_worker' macro definition.

As we just fixed a severe performance issue with Treaddir request
handling, clarify this overall issue as a comment on
v9fs_co_run_in_worker() with the intention to hopefully prevent
such performance mistakes in future (and fixing other yet
outstanding ones).

The newly added function v9fs_co_readdir_many() retrieves multiple
directory entries with a single fs driver request. It is intended to
replace uses of v9fs_co_readdir(), the latter only retrieves a
single directory entry per fs driver request instead.
The reason for this planned replacement is that for every fs driver
request the coroutine is dispatched from main I/O thread to a
background I/O thread and eventually dispatched back to main I/O
thread. Hopping between threads adds latency. So if a 9pfs Treaddir
request reads a large amount of directory entries, this currently
sums up to huge latencies of several hundred ms or even more. So
using v9fs_co_readdir_many() instead of v9fs_co_readdir() will
provide significant performance improvements.

In my "build everything" tree, changing qemu/main-loop.h triggers a
recompile of some 5600 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h). It includes block/aio.h,
which in turn includes qemu/event_notifier.h, qemu/notify.h,
qemu/processor.h, qemu/qsp.h, qemu/queue.h, qemu/thread-posix.h,
qemu/thread.h, qemu/timer.h, and a few more.
Include qemu/main-loop.h only where it's needed. Touching it now
recompiles only some 1700 objects. For block/aio.h and
qemu/event_notifier.h, these numbers drop from 5600 to 2800. For the
others, they shrink only slightly.

All these functions use the v9fs_co_run_in_worker() macro, and thus always
call qemu_coroutine_self() and qemu_coroutine_yield().
Let's mark them to make it obvious they execute in coroutine context.

This patch changes the 9p code to use readdir() again instead of
readdir_r(), which is deprecated in glibc 2.24.
All the locking was put in place by a previous patch.

Most of the 9p code is now virtio agnostic. This patch does a final cleanup:
- drop references to Virtio from the header comments
- fix includes
Also drop a couple of leading empty lines while here.
