* block/export: wait for vhost-user-blk requests when drainingStefan Hajnoczi2023-05-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each vhost-user-blk request runs in a coroutine. When the BlockBackend enters a drained section we need to enter a quiescent state. Currently any in-flight requests race with bdrv_drained_begin() because it is unaware of vhost-user-blk requests. When blk_co_preadv/pwritev()/etc returns it wakes the bdrv_drained_begin() thread but vhost-user-blk request processing has not yet finished. The request coroutine continues executing while the main loop thread thinks it is in a drained section. One example where this is unsafe is for blk_set_aio_context() where bdrv_drained_begin() is called before .aio_context_detached() and .aio_context_attach(). If request coroutines are still running after bdrv_drained_begin(), then the AioContext could change underneath them and they race with new requests processed in the new AioContext. This could lead to virtqueue corruption, for example. (This example is theoretical, I came across this while reading the code and have not tried to reproduce it.) It's easy to make bdrv_drained_begin() wait for in-flight requests: add a .drained_poll() callback that checks the VuServer's in-flight counter. VuServer just needs an API that returns true when there are requests in flight. The in-flight counter needs to be atomic.

* util/vhost-user-server: rename refcount to in_flight counterStefan Hajnoczi2023-05-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VuServer object has a refcount field and ref/unref APIs. The name is confusing because it's actually an in-flight request counter instead of a refcount. Normally a refcount destroys the object upon reaching zero. The VuServer counter is used to wake up the vhost-user coroutine when there are no more requests. Avoid confusing by renaming refcount and ref/unref to in_flight and inc/dec.

* block/export: Fix vhost-user-blk shutdown with requests in flightKevin Wolf2022-02-011-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vhost-user-blk export runs requests asynchronously in their own coroutine. When the vhost connection goes away and we want to stop the vhost-user server, we need to wait for these coroutines to stop before we can unmap the shared memory. Otherwise, they would still access the unmapped memory and crash. This introduces a refcount to VuServer which is increased when spawning a new request coroutine and decreased before the coroutine exits. The memory is only unmapped when the refcount reaches zero.

* libvhost-user: make it a meson subprojectMarc-André Lureau2020-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | By making libvhost-user a subproject, check it builds standalone (without the global QEMU cflags etc). Note that the library still relies on QEMU include/qemu/atomic.h and linux_headers/.
