You are right. Trying your example given in v4:
$ touch /tmp/iothread-create-test.qcow2
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -object iothread,id=iothr0 -qmp stdio <<EOF
{"execute": "qmp_capabilities"}
{"execute":"blockdev-add","arguments":{"node-name":"proto","driver":"file","filename":"/tmp/iothread-create-test.qcow2"}}
{"execute":"x-blockdev-set-iothread","arguments":{"node-name":"proto","iothread":"iothr0"}}
{"execute":"blockdev-create","arguments":{"job-id":"create","options":{"driver":"qcow2","file":"proto","size":0}}}
EOF
I still get "qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted"
I will remove the comment above the assertion, makes no sense.
Or should I replace it with a TODO/FIXME explaining the above? Something
like:
/*
* TODO: it is currently possible to run a blockdev-create job in an
* I/O thread, for example by doing:
* [ command line above ]
* This should not be allowed.
*/
What do you think?
