nbd: Use CoQueue for free_sema instead of CoMutex
NBD is using the CoMutex in a way that wasn't anticipated. For example, if there are N(N=26, MAX_NBD_REQUESTS=16) nbd write requests, so we will invoke nbd_client_co_pwritev N times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time request Actions 1 1 in_flight=1, Coroutine=C1 2 2 in_flight=2, Coroutine=C2 ... 15 15 in_flight=15, Coroutine=C15 16 16 in_flight=16, Coroutine=C16, free_sema->holder=C16, mutex->locked=true 17 17 in_flight=16, Coroutine=C17, queue C17 into free_sema->queue 18 18 in_flight=16, Coroutine=C18, queue C18 into free_sema->queue ... 26 N in_flight=16, Coroutine=C26, queue C26 into free_sema->queue ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once nbd client recieves request No.16' reply, we will re-enter C16. It's ok, because it's equal to 'free_sema->holder'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time request Actions 27 16 in_flight=15, Coroutine=C16, free_sema->holder=C16, mutex->locked=false ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then nbd_coroutine_end invokes qemu_co_mutex_unlock what will pop coroutines from free_sema->queue's head and enter C17. More free_sema->holder is C17 now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time request Actions 28 17 in_flight=16, Coroutine=C17, free_sema->holder=C17, mutex->locked=true ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In above scenario, we only recieves request No.16' reply. As time goes by, nbd client will almostly recieves replies from requests 1 to 15 rather than request 17 who owns C17. In this case, we will encounter assert "mutex->holder == self" failed since Kevin's commit 0e438cdc "coroutine: Let CoMutex remember who holds it". For example, if nbd client recieves request No.15' reply, qemu will stop unexpectedly: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time request Actions 29 15(most case) in_flight=15, Coroutine=C15, free_sema->holder=C17, mutex->locked=false ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Paolo's suggestion "The simplest fix is to change it to CoQueue, which is like a condition variable", this patch replaces CoMutex with CoQueue.
