From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsement...@virtuozzo.com> Let start from the beginning:
Commit b9e413dd375 (in 2.9) "block: explicitly acquire aiocontext in aio callbacks that need it" added pairs of aio_context_acquire/release to mirror_write_complete and mirror_read_complete, when they were aio callbacks for blk_aio_* calls. Then, commit 2e1990b26e5 (in 3.0) "block/mirror: Convert to coroutines" dropped these blk_aio_* calls, than mirror_write_complete and mirror_read_complete are not callbacks more, and don't need additional aiocontext acquiring. Furthermore, mirror_read_complete calls blk_co_pwritev inside these pair of aio_context_acquire/release, which leads to the following dead-lock with mirror: (gdb) info thr Id Target Id Frame 3 Thread (LWP 145412) "qemu-system-x86" syscall () 2 Thread (LWP 145416) "qemu-system-x86" __lll_lock_wait () * 1 Thread (LWP 145411) "qemu-system-x86" __lll_lock_wait () (gdb) bt #0 __lll_lock_wait () #1 _L_lock_812 () #2 __GI___pthread_mutex_lock #3 qemu_mutex_lock_impl (mutex=0x561032dce420 <qemu_global_mutex>, file=0x5610327d8654 "util/main-loop.c", line=236) at util/qemu-thread-posix.c:66 #4 qemu_mutex_lock_iothread_impl #5 os_host_main_loop_wait (timeout=480116000) at util/main-loop.c:236 #6 main_loop_wait (nonblocking=0) at util/main-loop.c:497 #7 main_loop () at vl.c:1892 #8 main Printing contents of qemu_global_mutex, I see that "__owner = 145416", so, thr1 is main loop, and now it wants BQL, which is owned by thr2.

Classic dead-lock. Then, let's check that aio context is hold by mirror coroutine: just print coroutine stack of first tracked request in mirror job target: (gdb) [...] (gdb) qemu coroutine 0x561035dd0860 #0 qemu_coroutine_switch #1 qemu_coroutine_yield #2 qemu_co_mutex_lock_slowpath #3 qemu_co_mutex_lock #4 qcow2_co_pwritev #5 bdrv_driver_pwritev #6 bdrv_aligned_pwritev #7 bdrv_co_pwritev #8 blk_co_pwritev #9 mirror_read_complete () at block/mirror.c:232 #10 mirror_co_read () at block/mirror.c:370 #11 coroutine_trampoline #12 __start_context Yes it is mirror_read_complete calling blk_co_pwritev after acquiring aio context.
