The ongoing QEMU multi-queue block layer effort makes it possible for multiple
threads to process I/O in parallel. The nbd block driver is not compatible with
the multi-queue block layer yet because QIOChannel cannot be used easily from
coroutines running in multiple threads. This series changes the QIOChannel API
to make that possible.
In the current API, calling qio_channel_attach_aio_context() sets the
AioContext where qio_channel_yield() installs an fd handler prior to yielding:
qio_channel_attach_aio_context(ioc, my_ctx);
...
qio_channel_yield(ioc); // my_ctx is used here
...
qio_channel_detach_aio_context(ioc);
This API design has limitations: reading and writing must be done in the same
AioContext and moving between AioContexts involves a cumbersome sequence of API
calls that is not suitable for doing on a per-request basis.
There is no fundamental reason why a QIOChannel needs to run within the
same AioContext every time qio_channel_yield() is called. QIOChannel
only uses the AioContext while inside qio_channel_yield(). The rest of
the time, QIOChannel is independent of any AioContext.
In the new API, qio_channel_yield() queries the AioContext from the current
coroutine using qemu_coroutine_get_aio_context(). There is no need to
explicitly attach/detach AioContexts anymore and
qio_channel_attach_aio_context() and qio_channel_detach_aio_context() are gone.
One coroutine can read from the QIOChannel while another coroutine writes from
a different AioContext.
This API change allows the nbd block driver to use QIOChannel from any thread.
It's important to keep in mind that the block driver already synchronizes
QIOChannel access and ensures that two coroutines never read simultaneously or
write simultaneously.
This patch updates all users of qio_channel_attach_aio_context() to the
new API. Most conversions are simple, but vhost-user-server requires a
new qemu_coroutine_yield() call to quiesce the vu_client_trip()
coroutine when not attached to any AioContext.
While the API is has become simpler, there is one wart: QIOChannel has a
special case for the iohandler AioContext (used for handlers that must not run
in nested event loops). I didn't find an elegant way preserve that behavior, so
I added a new API called qio_channel_set_follow_coroutine_ctx(ioc, true|false)
for opting in to the new AioContext model. By default QIOChannel uses the
iohandler AioHandler. Code that formerly called
qio_channel_attach_aio_context() now calls
qio_channel_set_follow_coroutine_ctx(ioc, true) once after the QIOChannel is
created.

The TLS handshake make take some time to complete, during which time an
I/O watch might be registered with the main loop. If the owner of the
I/O channel invokes qio_channel_close() while the handshake is waiting
to continue the I/O watch must be removed. Failing to remove it will
later trigger the completion callback which the owner is not expecting
to receive. In the case of the VNC server, this results in a SEGV as
vnc_disconnect_start() tries to shutdown a client connection that is
already gone / NULL.

nbd_drained_poll() generally runs in the main thread, not whatever
iothread the NBD server coroutine is meant to run in, so it can't
directly reenter the coroutines to wake them up.
The code seems to have the right intention, it specifies the correct
AioContext when it calls qemu_aio_coroutine_enter(). However, this
functions doesn't schedule the coroutine to run in that AioContext, but
it assumes it is already called in the home thread of the AioContext.
To fix this, add a new thread-safe qio_channel_wake_read() that can be
called in the main thread to wake up the coroutine in its AioContext,
and use this in nbd_drained_poll().

There should be no paths from a coroutine_fn to aio_poll, however in
practice coroutine_mixed_fn will call aio_poll in the !qemu_in_coroutine()
path. By marking mixed functions, we can track accurately the call paths
that execute entirely in coroutine context, and find more missing
coroutine_fn markers. This results in more accurate checks that
coroutine code does not end up blocking.
If the marking were extended transitively to all functions that call
these ones, static analysis could be done much more efficiently.
However, this is a start and makes it possible to use vrc's path-based
searches to find potential bugs where coroutine_fns call blocking functions.

Instead, move a part of qemu/coroutine.h to new qemu/coroutine-core.h
so that qemu/coroutine-core.h doesn't need qemu/lockable.h, and
qemu/lockable.h only needs qemu/coroutine-core.h. Result:

[Semantic rebase conflict with 7c10cb38cc "accel/tcg: Add debuginfo
support" resolved]
The initial implementation was changing the pipe state created by GLib
to PIPE_NOWAIT, but it turns out it doesn't work (read/write returns an
error). Since reading may return less than the requested amount, it
seems to be non-blocking already. However, the IO operation may block
until the FD is ready, I can't find good sources of information, to be
safe we can just poll for readiness before.
Alternatively, we could setup the FDs ourself, and use UNIX sockets on
Windows, which can be used in blocking/non-blocking mode. I haven't
tried it, as I am not sure it is necessary.

Simplify qio_channel_command_new_spawn() with GSpawn API. This will
allow to build for WIN32 in the following patches.
As pointed out by Daniel Berrangé: there is a change in semantics here
too. The current code only touches stdin/stdout/stderr. Any other FDs
which do NOT have O_CLOEXEC set will be inherited. With the new code,
all FDs except stdin/out/err will be explicitly closed, because we don't
set the flag G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN. The only place we use
QIOChannelCommand today is the migration exec: protocol, and that is
only declared to use stdin/stdout.

For CONFIG_LINUX, implement the new zero copy flag and the optional callback
io_flush on QIOChannelSocket, but enables it only when MSG_ZEROCOPY
feature is available in the host kernel, which is checked on
qio_channel_socket_connect_sync()
qio_channel_socket_flush() was implemented by counting how many times
sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY) was successfully called, and then reading the
socket's error queue, in order to find how many of them finished sending.
Flush will loop until those counters are the same, or until some error occurs.
Notes on using writev() with QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY:
1: Buffer
- As MSG_ZEROCOPY tells the kernel to use the same user buffer to avoid copying,
some caution is necessary to avoid overwriting any buffer before it's sent.
If something like this happen, a newer version of the buffer may be sent instead.
- If this is a problem, it's recommended to call qio_channel_flush() before freeing
or re-using the buffer.
2: Locked memory
- When using MSG_ZERCOCOPY, the buffer memory will be locked after queued, and
unlocked after it's sent.
- Depending on the size of each buffer, and how often it's sent, it may require
a larger amount of locked memory than usually available to non-root user.
- If the required amount of locked memory is not available, writev_zero_copy
will return an error, which can abort an operation like migration,
- Because of this, when an user code wants to add zero copy as a feature, it
requires a mechanism to disable it, so it can still be accessible to less
privileged users.

Add flags to io_writev and introduce io_flush as optional callback to
QIOChannelClass, allowing the implementation of zero copy writes by
subclasses.
How to use them:
- Write data using qio_channel_writev*(...,QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY),
- Wait write completion with qio_channel_flush().
Notes:
As some zero copy write implementations work asynchronously, it's
recommended to keep the write buffer untouched until the return of
qio_channel_flush(), to avoid the risk of sending an updated buffer
instead of the buffer state during write.
As io_flush callback is optional, if a subclass does not implement it, then:
- io_flush will return 0 without changing anything.
Also, some functions like qio_channel_writev_full_all() were adapted to
receive a flag parameter. That allows shared code between zero copy and
non-zero copy writev, and also an easier implementation on new flags.
