[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] blk: fix aio context loss on media change

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

If we have separate iothread for cdrom, we lose connection to it on
qmp_blockdev_change_medium, as aio_context is on bds which is dropped
and switched with new one.

As an example result, after such media change we have crash on
virtio_scsi_ctx_check: Assertion `blk_get_aio_context(d->conf.blk) == s->ctx' 
failed.

Hi all!

We've faced into this assert, and there some kind of fix. I don't sure that
such fix doesn't break some conceptions, in this case, I hope, someone will
propose a true-way solution.

======
Also, on master branch I can't reproduce it as vm crashed earlier, without any
eject/change, on assert(s->ctx && s->dataplane_started) in
virtio_scsi_data_plane_handle_ctrl(). It looks like race with
virtio_scsi_dataplane_start(), and for test (to reproduce assert described 
above),
I've "fixed" it with just:

     assert(s->ctx && s->dataplane_started);
     return virtio_scsi_handle_ctrl_vq(s, vq);
 }

This race is not reproduced for me in our 2.6 based branch.
