I am not sure whether deadlocks are still possible. Maybe they have just
moved to the fine-grained locks that have replaced the AioContext. Since
I am not sure if the deadlocks are gone, I have kept the substance
unchanged and just removed mention of the AioContext.

The vhost-user-blk export implement AioContext switches in its drain
implementation. This means that on drain_begin, it detaches the server
from its AioContext and on drain_end, attaches it again and schedules
the server->co_trip coroutine in the updated AioContext.
However, nothing guarantees that server->co_trip is even safe to be
scheduled. Not only is it unclear that the coroutine is actually in a
state where it can be reentered externally without causing problems, but
with two consecutive drains, it is possible that the scheduled coroutine
didn't have a chance yet to run and trying to schedule an already
scheduled coroutine a second time crashes with an assertion failure.
Following the model of NBD, this commit makes the vhost-user-blk export
shut down server->co_trip during drain so that resuming the export means
creating and scheduling a new coroutine, which is always safe.
There is one exception: If the drain call didn't poll (for example, this
happens in the context of bdrv_graph_wrlock()), then the coroutine
didn't have a chance to shut down. However, in this case the AioContext
can't have changed; changing the AioContext always involves a polling
drain. So in this case we can simply assert that the AioContext is
unchanged and just leave the coroutine running or wake it up if it has
yielded to wait for the AioContext to be attached again.

vhost-user activity must be suspended during bdrv_drained_begin/end().
This prevents new requests from interfering with whatever is happening
in the drained section.
Previously this was done using aio_set_fd_handler()'s is_external
argument. In a multi-queue block layer world the aio_disable_external()
API cannot be used since multiple AioContext may be processing I/O, not
just one.
Switch to BlockDevOps->drained_begin/end() callbacks.

Each vhost-user-blk request runs in a coroutine. When the BlockBackend
enters a drained section we need to enter a quiescent state. Currently
any in-flight requests race with bdrv_drained_begin() because it is
unaware of vhost-user-blk requests.
When blk_co_preadv/pwritev()/etc returns it wakes the
bdrv_drained_begin() thread but vhost-user-blk request processing has
not yet finished. The request coroutine continues executing while the
main loop thread thinks it is in a drained section.
One example where this is unsafe is for blk_set_aio_context() where
bdrv_drained_begin() is called before .aio_context_detached() and
.aio_context_attach(). If request coroutines are still running after
bdrv_drained_begin(), then the AioContext could change underneath them
and they race with new requests processed in the new AioContext. This
could lead to virtqueue corruption, for example.
(This example is theoretical, I came across this while reading the
code and have not tried to reproduce it.)
It's easy to make bdrv_drained_begin() wait for in-flight requests: add
a .drained_poll() callback that checks the VuServer's in-flight counter.
VuServer just needs an API that returns true when there are requests in
flight. The in-flight counter needs to be atomic.

The VuServer object has a refcount field and ref/unref APIs. The name is
confusing because it's actually an in-flight request counter instead of
a refcount.
Normally a refcount destroys the object upon reaching zero. The VuServer
counter is used to wake up the vhost-user coroutine when there are no
more requests.
Avoid confusing by renaming refcount and ref/unref to in_flight and
inc/dec.

The vhost-user-blk export runs requests asynchronously in their own
coroutine. When the vhost connection goes away and we want to stop the
vhost-user server, we need to wait for these coroutines to stop before
we can unmap the shared memory. Otherwise, they would still access the
unmapped memory and crash.
This introduces a refcount to VuServer which is increased when spawning
a new request coroutine and decreased before the coroutine exits. The
memory is only unmapped when the refcount reaches zero.

Allow the number of queues to be configured using --export

vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=N setting but QEMU vhost-user-blk.c lowers
its own value if the vhost-user-blk backend offers fewer queues than
QEMU.
The vhost-user-blk-server.c code is already capable of multi-queue. All
virtqueue processing runs in the same AioContext. No new locking is
needed.
Add the num-queues=N option and set the VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ feature bit.
Note that the feature bit only announces the presence of the num_queues
configuration space field. It does not promise that there is more than 1
virtqueue, so we can set it unconditionally.
I tested multi-queue by running a random read fio test with numjobs=4 on
an -smp 4 guest. After the benchmark finished the guest /proc/interrupts
file showed activity on all 4 virtio-blk MSI-X. The /sys/block/vda/mq/

Use the new QAPI block exports API instead of defining our own QOM
objects.
This is a large change because the lifecycle of VuBlockDev needs to
follow BlockExportDriver. QOM properties are replaced by QAPI options
objects.
VuBlockDev is renamed VuBlkExport and contains a BlockExport field.
Several fields can be dropped since BlockExport already has equivalents.
The file names and meson build integration will be adjusted in a future
patch. libvhost-user should probably be built as a static library that
is linked into QEMU instead of as a .c file that results in duplicate
compilation.
The new command-line syntax is:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
--export vhost-user-blk,node-name=drive0,id=export0,unix-socket=/tmp/vhost-user-blk.sock
Note that unix-socket is optional because we may wish to accept chardevs
too in the future.
Markus noted that supported address families are not explicit in the
QAPI schema. It is unlikely that support for more address families will
be added since file descriptor passing is required and few address
families support it. If a new address family needs to be added, then the
QAPI 'features' syntax can be used to advertize them.
