qemu_clock_enable says:
/* Disabling the clock will wait for related timerlists to stop
* executing qemu_run_timers. Thus, this functions should not
* be used from the callback of a timer that is based on @clock.
* Doing so would cause a deadlock.
*/
and it indeed does: vm_stop uses qemu_clock_enable on QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
and watchdogs are based on QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL, and we get a deadlock.
Use qemu_system_vmstop_request_prepare()/qemu_system_vmstop_request()
instead; yet another alternative could be a BH.
I checked other occurrences of vm_stop and they should not have this
problem. RUN_STATE_IO_ERROR could in principle (it depends on the
code in the drivers) but it has been fixed by commit 2bd3bce, "block:
asynchronously stop the VM on I/O errors", 2014-06-05.
