[Xen-devel] [PULL 2/3] xen-bus/block: explicitly assign event channels to an AioContext



From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

It is not safe to close an event channel from the QEMU main thread when
that channel's poller is running in IOThread context.

This patch adds a new xen_device_set_event_channel_context() function
to explicitly assign the channel AioContext, and modifies
xen_device_bind_event_channel() to initially assign the channel's poller
to the QEMU main thread context. The code in xen-block's dataplane is
then modified to assign the channel to IOThread context during
xen_block_dataplane_start() and de-assign it during in
xen_block_dataplane_stop(), such that the channel is always assigned
back to main thread context before it is closed. aio_set_fd_handler()
already deals with all the necessary synchronization when moving an fd
between AioContext-s so no extra code is needed to manage this.
