Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] monitor: use aio_co_reschedule_self()
Date: Tue,  6 Feb 2024 14:06:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240206190610.107963-6-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240206190610.107963-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

The aio_co_reschedule_self() API is designed to avoid the race
condition between scheduling the coroutine in another AioContext and
yielding.

The QMP dispatch code uses the open-coded version that appears
susceptible to the race condition at first glance:

  aio_co_schedule(qemu_get_aio_context(), qemu_coroutine_self());
  qemu_coroutine_yield();

The code is actually safe because the iohandler and qemu_aio_context
AioContext run under the Big QEMU Lock. Nevertheless, set a good example
and use aio_co_reschedule_self() so it's obvious that there is no race.
