block: add a CoMutex to synchronous read drivers
The big conversion of bdrv_read/write to coroutines caused the two homonymous callbacks in BlockDriver to become reentrant. It goes like this: 1) bdrv_read is now called in a coroutine, and calls bdrv_read or bdrv_pread. 2) the nested bdrv_read goes through the fast path in bdrv_rw_co_entry; 3) in the common case when the protocol is file, bdrv_co_do_readv calls bdrv_co_readv_em (and from here goes to bdrv_co_io_em), which yields until the AIO operation is complete; 4) if bdrv_read had been called from a bottom half, the main loop is free to iterate again: a device model or another bottom half can then come and call bdrv_read again. This applies to all four of read/write/flush/discard. It would also apply to is_allocated, but it is not used from within coroutines: besides qemu-img.c and qemu-io.c, which operate synchronously, the only user is the monitor. Copy-on-read will introduce a use in the block layer, and will require converting it. The solution is "simply" to convert all drivers to coroutines! We just need to add a CoMutex that is taken around affected operations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
