Re: [PATCH] block/copy-before-write: wait for conflicts when read locking to avoid assertion failure

There is no protection against two callers of cbw_snapshot_read_lock()
calling reqlist_init_req() with overlapping ranges, and
reqlist_init_req() asserts that there are no conflicting requests.

In particular, two cbw_co_snapshot_block_status() callers can race,
with the second calling reqlist_init_req() before the first one
finishes and removes its conflicting request, leading to an assertion
failure.

Reproducer script [0] and backtrace [1] are attached below.

Understand. But seems in case of CBW read-lock, nothing bad in intersecting 
read requests?

reqlist is shared with backup, where we care to avoid intersecting requests in 
the list. What about just move the assertion to block_copy_task_create() ? And 
add comment somewhere that we support intersecting reads in frozen_read_reqs.
