Just to clarify: the issue appeared in 2.8.0, but it is still present in
current master. Commit c2b6428d38 ("block: quiesce AioContext when
detaching from it") does not solve this issue, even though it contains
the following tag:
Fixes: 99723548561978da8ef44cf804fb7912698f5d88

Title:
qemu-system-x86_64: hw/ide/core.c:685: ide_cancel_dma_sync: Assertion
`s->bus->dma->aiocb == NULL' failed.
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Since upgrading to QEMU 2.8.0, my Windows 7 64-bit virtual machines
started crashing due to the assertion quoted in the summary failing.
The assertion in question was added by commit 9972354856 ("block: add
BDS field to count in-flight requests"). My tests show that setting
discard=unmap is needed to reproduce the issue. Speaking of
reproduction, it is a bit flaky, because I have been unable to come up
with specific instructions that would allow the issue to be triggered
outside of my environment, but I do have a semi-sane way of testing that
appears to depend on a specific initial state of data on the underlying
storage volume, actions taken within the VM and waiting for about 20
minutes.
Here is the shortest QEMU command line that I managed to reproduce the
bug with:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine pc-i440fx-2.7,accel=kvm \
-m 3072 \
-drive file=/dev/lvm/qemu,format=raw,if=ide,discard=unmap \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no,vhost=on \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0 \
-vnc :0
The underlying storage (/dev/lvm/qemu) is a thin LVM snapshot.
QEMU was compiled using:
./configure --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
make -j3
My virtualization environment is not really a critical one and
reproduction is not that much of a hassle, so if you need me to gather
further diagnostic information or test patches, I will be happy to help.
