Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] coroutine rwlock downgrade fix, minor VDI changes
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2021 19:00:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210317180013.235231-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

This is a resubmit of David Edmondson's series at
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20210309144015.557477-1-david.edmondson@oracle.com/.
After closer analysis on IRC, the CoRwlock's attempt to ensure
fairness turned out to be flawed.  Therefore, this series
reimplements CoRwlock without using a CoQueue.  Tracking whether
each queued coroutine is a reader/writer makes it possible to
never wake a writer when only readers should be allowed and
vice versa.

v2->v3: new CoRwlock implementation

v3->v4: fix upgrade and add a test for that, too

v4->v5: typo

David Edmondson (4):
  block/vdi: When writing new bmap entry fails, don't leak the buffer
  block/vdi: Don't assume that blocks are larger than VdiHeader
  coroutine/mutex: Store the coroutine in the CoWaitRecord only once
  test-coroutine: Add rwlock downgrade test

Paolo Bonzini (2):
  coroutine-lock: reimplement CoRwlock to fix downgrade bug
  test-coroutine: add rwlock upgrade test
