We do care. A BDS will not be removed from all_bdrv_states until it is
deleted (i.e. its refcount becomes 0). Therefore, this loop will
continue until all BDSs have been deleted.
So where might additional references come from? Since this loop only
cares about direct or indirect references from block jobs, that's
exactly it:
(1) You might have multiple block jobs running on a BDS in the future.
Then, you'll cancel them one by one, and after having canceled the
first one, the refcount will still be greater than one before the
bdrv_unref().
(2) Imagine a BDS A with a parent BDS B. There are block jobs running on
both of them. Now, B is referenced by both its block job and by A
(indirectly by the block job referencing A). If we cancel the job on
B before the one on A, then the refcount on B will still be greater
than 1 before bdrv_unref() because it is still referenced by its
parent (until the block job on A is canceled, too).
The first cannot happen right now, but the second one may, I'm not sure
(depending on whether op blockers allow it).
And we do make sure that there are no additional references besides:
- directly from the monitor (monitor-owned BDSs)
- from a BB
- from block jobs
- (+ everything transitively through the respective BDS tree)
If there were additional references, the inner loop would at some point
no longer find a BDS with a block job while all_bdrv_states is still not
empty. That's what the "assert(bs)" after the inner loop is for.
If you can imagine another way where a reference to a BDS may come from,
that would be a bug in this patch and we have to make sure to respect
that case, too.
