So it's non-null.

I guess that means in_aio_context_home_thread(qemu_get_aio_context()) is
true in the main thread.
Before the patch, the if's condition is true, and we execute
while ((cond)) { \
aio_poll(ctx_, true); \
waited_ = true; \
} \
Afterwards, it's false, and we execute

I guess that means in_aio_context_home_thread(qemu_get_aio_context()) is
true in the main thread.
Before the patch, the if's condition is true, and we execute
while ((cond)) { \
aio_poll(ctx_, true); \
waited_ = true; \
} \
Afterwards, it's false, and we instead execute
assert(qemu_get_current_aio_context() == \
qemu_get_aio_context()); \
while ((cond)) { \
if (unlock && ctx_) { \
aio_context_release(ctx_); \
} \
aio_poll(qemu_get_aio_context(), true); \
if (unlock && ctx_) { \
aio_context_acquire(ctx_); \
} \
waited_ = true; \
} \
The assertion is true: both operands of == are the main loop's
AioContext.
The if conditions are false, because unlock is.
Therefore, we execute the exact same code.
All correct?
