That doesn't seem good to stop handling io when guest is still running. For example it leads to the following:
After bdrv_drain_all_begin(), during vm_shutdown() scsi_dma_writev() calls blk_aio_pwritev(). As we are in drained section the request waits in blk_wait_while_drained(). Next, during bdrv_close_all() bs is removed from blk, and blk drain finishes. So, the request is resumed, and fails with -ENOMEDIUM. Corresponding BLOCK_IO_ERROR event is sent and takes place in libvirt log. That doesn't seem good. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsement...@virtuozzo.com> --- Hi all! In our product (v5.2 based) we faced -ENOMEDIUM BLOCK_IO_ERROR events during qemu termination (by SIGTERM). I don't have a reproducer for master. Still the problem seems possible. Ideas of how to reproduce it are welcome. Also, I thought that issuing blk_ requests from SCSI is not possible during drained section, and logic with blk_wait_while_drained() was introduced for IDE.. Which code is responsible for not issuing SCSI requests during drained sections? May be it is racy.. Or it may be our downstream problem, I don't know :( softmmu/runstate.c | 11 ++++------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/softmmu/runstate.c b/softmmu/runstate.c index 10d9b7365a..1966d773f3 100644 --- a/softmmu/runstate.c +++ b/softmmu/runstate.c @@ -797,21 +797,18 @@ void qemu_cleanup(void) */ blk_exp_close_all(); + /* No more vcpu or device emulation activity beyond this point */ + vm_shutdown(); + replay_finish(); + /* * We must cancel all block jobs while the block layer is drained, * or cancelling will be affected by throttling and thus may block * for an extended period of time. - * vm_shutdown() will bdrv_drain_all(), so we may as well include - * it in the drained section. * We do not need to end this section, because we do not want any * requests happening from here on anyway. */ bdrv_drain_all_begin(); - - /* No more vcpu or device emulation activity beyond this point */ - vm_shutdown(); - replay_finish(); - job_cancel_sync_all(); bdrv_close_all(); -- 2.29.2
