v5: Patch 13: set blocker before bdrv_drain(). v4: virtio-scsi-dataplane: Use assert in ctrl/event queue handler. [Paolo] Protect mirror complete in new patch 13. [Wen] Add Max's rev-by in 02, 03, 04. Fix 05, 06 per Max's comments.
Reported by Paolo. Unlike the iohandler in main loop, iothreads currently process the event notifier used by virtio-blk ioeventfd in nested aio_poll. This is dangerous without proper protection, because guest requests could sneak to block layer where they mustn't. For example, a QMP transaction may involve multiple bdrv_drain_all() in handling the list of AioContext it works on. If an aio_poll in one of the bdrv_drain_all() happens to process a guest VQ kick, and dispatches the ioeventfd event to virtio-blk, a new guest write is then submitted, and voila, the transaction semantics is violated. This series avoids this problem by disabling virtio-blk handlers during bdrv_drain_all() and transactions. - Patches 1~3 add the block layer op blocker change notifier code. - Patches 4,5 secure virtio-blk dataplane. - Patch 6 protects virtio-scsi dataplane. - Patch 7 secures nbd export. - Patch 8~11 protect each transaction type from being voilated by new IO generated in nested aio_poll. - Patch 12 protects bdrv_drain and bdrv_drain_all. - Patch 13 protects mirror complete.
