2018-03-27coroutine: avoid co_queue_wakeup recursionStefan Hajnoczi
qemu_aio_coroutine_enter() is (indirectly) called recursively when processing co_queue_wakeup. This can lead to stack exhaustion. This patch rewrites co_queue_wakeup in an iterative fashion (instead of recursive) with bounded memory usage to prevent stack exhaustion. qemu_co_queue_run_restart() is inlined into qemu_aio_coroutine_enter() and the qemu_coroutine_enter() call is turned into a loop to avoid recursion. There is one change that is worth mentioning: Previously, when coroutine A queued coroutine B, qemu_co_queue_run_restart() entered coroutine B from coroutine A. If A was terminating then it would still stay alive until B yielded. After this patch B is entered by A's parent so that a A can be deleted immediately if it is terminating. It is safe to make this change since B could never interact with A if it was terminating anyway.

2018-02-08coroutine-lock: make qemu_co_enter_next thread-safePaolo Bonzini
qemu_co_queue_next does not need to release and re-acquire the mutex, because the queued coroutine does not run immediately. However, this does not hold for qemu_co_enter_next. Now that qemu_co_queue_wait can synchronize (via QemuLockable) with code that is not running in coroutine context, it's important that code using qemu_co_enter_next can easily use a standardized locking idiom. First of all, qemu_co_enter_next must use aio_co_wake to restart the coroutine. Second, the function gains a second argument, a QemuLockable*, and the comments of qemu_co_queue_next and qemu_co_queue_restart_all are adjusted to clarify the difference.

2018-02-08coroutine-lock: convert CoQueue to use QemuLockablePaolo Bonzini
There are cases in which a queued coroutine must be restarted from non-coroutine context (with qemu_co_enter_next). In this cases, qemu_co_enter_next also needs to be thread-safe, but it cannot use a CoMutex and so cannot qemu_co_queue_wait. Use QemuLockable so that the CoQueue can interchangeably use CoMutex or QemuMutex.

2017-06-07coroutine-lock: do not touch coroutine after another one has been enteredRoman Pen
Submission of requests on linux aio is a bit tricky and can lead to requests completions on submission path: 44713c9e8547 ("linux-aio: Handle io_submit() failure gracefully") 0ed93d84edab ("linux-aio: process completions from ioq_submit()") That means that any coroutine which has been yielded in order to wait for completion can be resumed from submission path and be eventually terminated (freed). The following use-after-free crash was observed when IO throttling was enabled: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

That's why we see 'co' (which was freed) has the same address as 'elem' from the first backtrace. The fix is obvious: use temporary queue and do not touch coroutine after first qemu_coroutine_enter() is invoked. The issue is quite rare and happens every ~12 hours on very high IO and CPU load (building linux kernel with -j512 inside guest) when IO throttling is enabled. With the fix applied guest is running ~35 hours and is still alive so far.

2017-02-21coroutine-lock: make CoRwlock thread-safe and fairPaolo Bonzini
This adds a CoMutex around the existing CoQueue. Because the write-side can just take CoMutex, the old "writer" field is not necessary anymore. Instead of removing it altogether, count the number of pending writers during a read-side critical section and forbid further readers from entering.

2017-02-21coroutine-lock: add limited spinning to CoMutexPaolo Bonzini
Running a very small critical section on pthread_mutex_t and CoMutex shows that pthread_mutex_t is much faster because it doesn't actually go to sleep. What happens is that the critical section is shorter than the latency of entering the kernel and thus FUTEX_WAIT always fails. With CoMutex there is no such latency but you still want to avoid wait and wakeup. So introduce it artificially. This only works with one waiters; because CoMutex is fair, it will always have more waits and wakeups than a pthread_mutex_t.

2017-02-21coroutine-lock: reschedule coroutine on the AioContext it was running onPaolo Bonzini
As a small step towards the introduction of multiqueue, we want coroutines to remain on the same AioContext that started them, unless they are moved explicitly with e.g. aio_co_schedule. This patch avoids that coroutines switch AioContext when they use a CoMutex. For now it does not make much of a difference, because the CoMutex is not thread-safe and the AioContext itself is used to protect the CoMutex from concurrent access. However, this is going to change. Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2016-09-05coroutine: Assert that no locks are held on terminationKevin Wolf
A coroutine that takes a lock must also release it again. If the coroutine terminates without having released all its locks, it's buggy and we'll probably run into a deadlock sooner or later.

2016-07-13coroutine: move entry argument to qemu_coroutine_createPaolo Bonzini
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new. Mostly done with the following semantic patch: @ entry1 @ expression entry, arg, co; @@ - co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry2 @ expression entry, arg; identifier co; @@ - Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry); + Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg); ... - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); @ entry3 @ expression entry, arg; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry), arg); + qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg)); @ reentry @ expression co; @@ - qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL); + qemu_coroutine_enter(co); except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise produce an uninitialized variable warning.

2015-10-20coroutine: move into libqemuutil.a libraryDaniel P. Berrange
The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a library, making it widely available. The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the include/block directory, since they are now part of the util codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory either.
