[Qemu-block] [PULL 2/7] qemu-iotests: step clock after each test iteration |

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <address@hidden>
The 093 throttling test submits twice as many requests as the throttle
limit in order to ensure that we reach the limit. The remaining
requests are left in-flight at the end of each test iteration.
Commit 452589b6b47e8dc6353df257fc803dfc1383bed8 ("vl.c/exit: pause cpus
before closing block devices") exposed a hang in 093. This happens
because requests are still in flight when QEMU terminates but
QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL time is frozen. bdrv_drain_all() hangs forever since
throttled requests cannot complete.
Step the clock at the end of each test iteration so in-flight requests
actually finish. This solves the hang and is cleaner than leaving tests
in-flight.
Note that this could also be "fixed" by disabling throttling when drives
are closed in QEMU. That approach has two issues:
1. We must drain requests before disabling throttling, so the hang
cannot be easily avoided!
2. Any time QEMU disables throttling internally there is a chance that
malicious users can abuse the code path to bypass throttling limits.
Therefore it makes more sense to fix the test case than to modify QEMU.
