with test while /bin/true ; do virsh snapshot-create rhel7 sleep 10 virsh snapshot-delete rhel7 --current done with enabled iothreads on a running VM leads to a lot of troubles: hangs, asserts, errors.
Anyway, I think that the construction like assert(aio_context_is_locked(aio_context)); should be widely used to ensure proper locking. Changes from v9: - used proper BlockDriverState/AioContext in load_vmstate Changes from v8: - split patch 5 into 2 separate patches making changes better to understand and review Changes from v7: - patch 5: fixes for bdrv_all_find_snapshot. Changed parameter name to skip_read_only which better reflects the meaning of the value and fixed checks inside to conform the note from Stefan Changes from v6: - tricky part dropped from patch 7 - patch 5 reworked to process snapshot list differently in info commands and on savevm Changes from v5: - dropped already merged patch 11 - fixed spelling in patch 1 - changed order of condition in loops in all patches. Thank you Stefan - dropped patch 9 - aio_context is not acquired any more in bdrv_all_find_vmstate_bs by request of Stefan - patch 10 is implemented in completely different way Changes from v4: - only migration/savevm.c code and monitor is affected now. Generic block layer stuff will be sent separately to speedup merging. The approach in general was negotiated with Juan and Stefan. Changes from v3: - more places found - new aio_poll concept, see patch 10 Changes from v2: - droppped patch 5 as already merged - changed locking scheme in patch 4 by suggestion of Juan Changes from v1: - aio-context locking added - comment is rewritten Signed-off-by: Denis V.
