[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Revert "qed: Implement .bdrv_drain"

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

This reverts commit df9a681dc9ad41c9cdeb9ecc5d060ba9abd27e01.

Note that commit df9a681dc9ad41c9cdeb9ecc5d060ba9abd27e01 included some
unrelated hunks, possibly due to a merge failure or an overlooked
squash.  This only reverts the qed .bdrv_drain() implementation.

The qed .bdrv_drain() implementation is unsafe and can lead to a double
request completion.

Paolo Bonzini reports:
"The problem is that bdrv_qed_drain calls qed_plug_allocating_write_reqs
unconditionally, but this is not correct if an allocating write is
queued.  In this case, qed_unplug_allocating_write_reqs will restart the
allocating write and possibly cause it to complete.  The aiocb however
is still in use for the L2/L1 table writes, and will then be completed
again as soon as the table writes are stable."

For QEMU 2.6 we can simply revert this commit.  A full solution for the
qed need check timer may be added if the bdrv_drain() implementation is
extended.
