![]() monitor_qmp_dispatcher_co() runs in the iohandler AioContext that is not
polled during nested event loops. The coroutine currently reschedules
itself in the main loop's qemu_aio_context AioContext, which is polled
during nested event loops. One known problem is that QMP device-add
calls drain_call_rcu(), which temporarily drops the BQL, leading to all
sorts of havoc like other vCPU threads re-entering device emulation code
while another vCPU thread is waiting in device emulation code with
aio_poll().
Paolo Bonzini suggested running non-coroutine QMP handlers in the
iohandler AioContext. This avoids trouble with nested event loops. His
original idea was to move coroutine rescheduling to
monitor_qmp_dispatch(), but I resorted to moving it to qmp_dispatch()
because we don't know if the QMP handler needs to run in coroutine
context in monitor_qmp_dispatch(). monitor_qmp_dispatch() would have
been nicer since it's associated with the monitor implementation and not
as general as qmp_dispatch(), which is also used by qemu-ga.
A number of qemu-iotests need updated .out files because the order of
QMP events vs QMP responses has changed.
Solves Issue #1933.
