69de48445a0d6169f1e2a6c5bfab994e1c810e33 test-bdrv-drain: fix iothread_join() hang
tests/test-bdrv-drain can hang in tests/iothread.c:iothread_run():
while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) {
aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true);
}
The iothread_join() function works as follows:
void iothread_join(IOThread *iothread)
{
iothread->stopping = true;
aio_notify(iothread->ctx);
qemu_thread_join(&iothread->thread);
If iothread_run() checks iothread->stopping before the iothread_join()
thread sets stopping to true, then aio_notify() may be optimized away
and iothread_run() hangs forever in aio_poll().
The correct way to change iothread->stopping is from a BH that executes
within iothread_run(). This ensures that iothread->stopping is checked
after we set it to true.
This was already fixed for ./iothread.c (note this is a different source
file!) by commit 2362a28ea11c145e1a13ae79342d76dc118a72a6 ("iothread:
fix iothread_stop() race condition"), but not for tests/iothread.c.
