Qemu-img convert appears to be stuck on aarch64 host with low probability

Hi,  I found a problem that qemu-img convert appears to be stuck on aarch64 host with low probability.

The convert command  line is  "qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw disk.qcow2 disk.raw ".

The bt is below:

The problem seems to be very similar to the phenomenon described by this patch (https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1/src/qemu-kvm-ev/0025-aio_notify-force-main-loop-wakeup-with-SIGIO-aarch64.patch), 

which force main loop wakeup with SIGIO.  But this patch was reverted by the patch (http://ovirt.repo.nfrance.com/src/qemu-kvm-ev/kvm-Revert-aio_notify-force-main-loop-wakeup-with-SIGIO-.patch).

The problem still seems to exist in aarch64 host. The qemu version I used is 2.8.1. The host version is 4.19.28-1.2.108.aarch64.
 Do you have any solutions to fix it?  Thanks for your reply !


Anyone else has a similar problem?

I  can't reproduce this problem with  qemu.git/matser?  It seems to have been fixed in qemu.git/matser.

But  I haven't found which patch fixed this problem from QEMU version 2.8.1 to  qemu.git/matser. 

Could anybody give me some suggestions? Thanks for your reply.

Hi, unfortunately a lot has changed from 2.8 and it might be hard to identify a single individual fix that may be responsible for this; there are aio_context fixes that go in nearly every version.

It may be quickest (unfortunately) to start git-bisecting the problem to see if you can identify which build alleviates the behavior to see if it isn't something you can backport directly -- but you might find that this particular fix has a lot of requisites and you might find it difficult to backport to 2.8.1.

Best of luck,

Marking this bug as fixed according to comment 2.

dann frazier met the same problem as me in (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1805256).

He said this bugs still persists w/ latest upstream (@ afccfc0). His reply to me is below:

No, sorry - this bugs still persists w/ latest upstream (@ afccfc0). I found a report of similar symptoms:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10047341/
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1524770#c13

To be clear, ^ is already fixed upstream, so it is not the *same* issue - but perhaps related.


Ok, we can track the bug reported by Dann Frazier in ticket 1805256 instead.

I can reproduce this problem with qemu.git/matser. It still exists in qemu.git/matser. I found that when an IO return in
worker threads and want to call aio_notify to wake up main_loop, but it found that ctx->notify_me is cleared to 0 by main_loop in aio_ctx_check by calling atomic_and(&ctx->notify_me, ~1) . So worker thread won't write enventfd to notify main_loop. If such a scene happens, the main_loop will hang:

   main loop                                   worker thread1                         worker thread2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------        
     qemu_poll_ns                            aio_worker        
                                        qemu_bh_schedule(pool->completion_bh)                              
    glib_pollfds_poll
    g_main_context_check
    aio_ctx_check                                                                     aio_worker                                                                                       
    atomic_and(&ctx->notify_me, ~1)                                                                   
                                                                               qemu_bh_schedule(pool->completion_bh)
    /* do something for event */   
    qemu_poll_ns
    /* hangs !!!*/  


As we known ,ctx->notify_me will be visited by worker thread and main loop. I thank we should add a lock protection for ctx->notify_me to avoid this happend.
