I have a related scenario that is reproducible on qemu.git/master: Launch an x86 guest with virtio-blk-pci,iothread= and perform drive_mirror to NBD. Now live migrate (without block migration because you already mirrored) and the source QEMU will eventually abort. The backtrace shows the coroutine is running in the IOThread. It should be doing that since virtio-blk.c stops dataplane when live migration/savevm begins. What happens is that the mirror block job's coroutine continues to run in the IOThread but the BlockDriverState's AioContext has switched back to the main loop. blk_add_aio_context_notifier() calls are missing for block jobs. They need to attach/detach when the AioContext changes. This needs to be fixed. I believe Paolo has a patch to continue using dataplane during savevm but that's a workaround rather than a solution to this problem. Stefan
