[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: always use handle_aio_output if registered

[Paolo Bonzini]

Commit ad07cd6 ("virtio-scsi: always use dataplane path if ioeventfd is
active", 2016-10-30) and 9ffe337 ("virtio-blk: always use dataplane
path if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) broke the virtio 1.0
indirect access registers.

The indirect access registers bypass the ioeventfd, so that virtio-blk
and virtio-scsi now repeatedly try to initialize dataplane instead of
triggering the guest->host EventNotifier.  Detect the situation by
checking vq->handle_aio_output; if it is not NULL, trigger the
EventNotifier, which is how the device expects to get notifications
and in fact the only thread-safe manner to deliver them.
