Subject: [PATCH 14/14] aio: warn about iohandler_ctx special casing

RH-Commit: [2/2] 895231553731f09f51275c1abbf50c3440fe977f (kmwolf/centos-qemu-kvm)
|
|
|
|
The main loop has two AioContexts: qemu_aio_context and iohandler_ctx.
|
|
The main loop runs them both, but nested aio_poll() calls on
|
|
qemu_aio_context exclude iohandler_ctx.
|
|
|
|
Which one should qemu_get_current_aio_context() return when called from
|
|
the main loop? Document that it's always qemu_aio_context.
|
|
|
|
This has subtle effects on functions that use
|
|
qemu_get_current_aio_context(). For example, aio_co_reschedule_self()
|
|
does not work when moving from iohandler_ctx to qemu_aio_context because
|
|
qemu_get_current_aio_context() does not differentiate these two
|
|
AioContexts.
|
|
|
|
Document this in order to reduce the chance of future bugs.
