[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] block: use BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in bdrv_rw_vmstate()

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Calling aio_poll() directly may have been fine previously, but this is
the future, man!  The difference between an aio_poll() loop and
BDRV_POLL_WHILE() is that BDRV_POLL_WHILE() releases the AioContext
around aio_poll().

This allows the IOThread to run fd handlers or BHs to complete the
request.  Failure to release the AioContext causes deadlocks.

Using BDRV_POLL_WHILE() partially fixes a 'savevm' hang with -object
iothread.
