event_notifier_test_and_clear must be called before processing events.
Otherwise, an aio_poll could "eat" the notification before the main
I/O thread invokes ppoll(). The main I/O thread then never wakes up.
This is an example of what could happen:
i/o thread vcpu thread worker thread
---------------------------------------------------------------------
lock_iothread
notify_me = 1
...
unlock_iothread
bh->scheduled = 1
event_notifier_set
lock_iothread
notify_me = 3
ppoll
notify_me = 1
aio_dispatch
aio_bh_poll
thread_pool_completion_bh
bh->scheduled = 1
event_notifier_set
node->io_read(node->opaque)
event_notifier_test_and_clear
ppoll
*** hang ***
"Tracing" with qemu_clock_get_ns shows pretty much the same behavior as
in the previous bug, so there are no new tricks here---just stare more
at the code until it is apparent.
One could also use a formal model, of course. The included one shows
this with three processes: notifier corresponds to a QEMU thread pool
worker, temporary_waiter to a VCPU thread that invokes aio_poll(),
waiter to the main I/O thread. I would be happy to say that the
formal model found the bug for me, but actually I wrote it after the
fact.
This patch is a bit of a big hammer. The next one optimizes it,
with help (this time for real rather than a posteriori :)) from
another, similar formal model.
