[PATCH v8 00/14] monitor: Optionally run handlers in coroutines

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Some QMP command handlers can block the main loop for a relatively long
time, for example because they perform some I/O. This is quite nasty.
Allowing such handlers to run in a coroutine where they can yield (and
therefore release the BQL) while waiting for an event such as I/O
completion solves the problem.

This series adds the infrastructure to allow this and switches
block_resize to run in a coroutine as a first example.

This is an alternative solution to Marc-André's "monitor: add
asynchronous command type" series.

v8:
- Replaced bdrv_co_move_to_aio_context() with bdrv_co_enter()/leave(),
  added bdrv_co_lock()/unlock() and fixed the iothread support in
  qmp_block_resize() with the new functions [Stefan]
- More detailed documentation of 'coroutine' flag for commands [Markus]
- Improved comment for dropping out of coroutine context in
  qmp_dispatch() [Markus]
- Coding style changes [Markus]
- Resolve some more merge conflicts on rebase

v7:
- Added patch 2 to add a Monitor parameter to monitor_get_cpu_index(),
  too [Markus]
- Let monitor_set_cur() return the old monitor [Markus]
- Fixed comment about linking stub objects in test-util-sockets [Markus]
- More detailed commit message for per-coroutine current monitor and
  document that monitor_set_cur(NULL) must be called eventually [Markus]
- Resolve some merge conflicts on rebase

v6:
- Fixed cur_mon behaviour: It should always point to the Monitor while
  we're in the handler coroutine, but be NULL while the handler
  coroutines has yielded. [Markus]
- Give HMP handlers the coroutine option, too, because they will call
  QMP handlers, and life is easier when we know whether we are in
  coroutine context or not.
- Fixed block_resize for block devices in iothreads and for HMP
- Resolved some merge conflict with QAPI generator and monitor
  refactorings that were merged in the meantime

v5:
- Improved comments and documentation [Markus]

v4:
- Forbid 'oob': true, 'coroutine': true [Markus]
- Removed Python type hints [Markus]
- Introduced separate bool qmp_dispatcher_co_shutdown to make it clearer
  how a shutdown request is signalled to the dispatcher [Markus]
- Allow using aio_poll() with iohandler_ctx and use that instead of
  aio_bh_poll() [Markus]
- Removed coroutine_fn from qmp_block_resize() again because at least
  one caller (HMP) calls it outside of coroutine context [Markus]
- Tried to make the synchronisation between dispatcher and the monitor
  thread clearer, and fixed a race condition
- Improved documentation and comments

v3:
- Fix race between monitor thread and dispatcher that could schedule the
  dispatcher coroutine twice if a second requests comes in before the
  dispatcher can wake up [Patchew]

v2:
- Fix typo in a commit message [Eric]
- Use hyphen instead of underscore for the test command [Eric]
- Mark qmp_block_resize() as coroutine_fn [Stefan]
