[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-blk: Cancel the pending BH when the dataplane is reset

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-blk: Cancel the pending BH when the dataplane is reset

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

When 'system_reset' is called, the main loop clear the memory
region cache before the BH has a chance to execute. Later when
the deferred function is called, some assumptions that were
made when scheduling them are no longer true when they actually
execute.

This is what happens using a virtio-blk device (fresh RHEL7.8 install):

 $ (sleep 12.3; echo system_reset; sleep 12.3; echo system_reset; sleep 1; echo q) \
   | qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -smp 8 -boot menu=on \

Fix this by cancelling the BH when the virtio dataplane is stopped.

Naive question:

Since we're canceling the BH here and we're stopping the device; do we
need to do anything like clear out batch_notify_vqs? I assume in
system_reset contexts that's going to be handled anyway, are there
non-reset contexts where it matters?

Spurious guest notifications aren't a problem but missing notifications
can hang the guest.  I have proposed a modified version of this code
that ensures pending batched notifications are sent.

Let's notify the guest if any batched notifications are waiting.  This
ensures that no notifications are lost when dataplane is stopped.
