Maybe because we are called from a vCPU context? Avoid this case by calling the pending callback directly. In this case this is WIN_FLUSH_CACHE. I'm not sure for the other READ/WRITE commands. Reported-by: Alexander Bulekov <alx...@bu.edu> Fixes: bef0fd5958 ("ide: convert ide_sector_read() to asynchronous I/O") BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1878255 Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> --- RFC because I don't understand AIO operations well. After RFC Cc: qemu-sta...@nongnu.org ide_is_pio_out() verifies a PIO OUT checking: s->end_transfer_func == ide_dummy_transfer_stop An alternative might be: if (s->pio_aiocb && s->end_transfer_func == ide_dummy_transfer_stop) { /* If there is a pending AIO callback, invoke it now. */ blk_aio_cancel_async(s->pio_aiocb); s->pio_aiocb = NULL; } Or if we want to limit to WIN_FLUSH_CACHE: if (s->pio_aiocb && s->bus->error_status & IDE_RETRY_FLUSH) { /* If there is a pending AIO callback, invoke it now. */ blk_aio_cancel_async(s->pio_aiocb); s->pio_aiocb = NULL; } Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> Last minute chat: 19:01 <stefanha> f4bug: use bdrv_aio_cancel_async() if possible because it won't block the current thread. 19:02 <stefanha> f4bug: For example, in device emulation code where the guest has requested to cancel an I/O request it's often possible to use the async version. 19:02 <stefanha> f4bug: But in synchronous code like device reset it may be necessary to use the synchronous (blocking) bdrv_aio_cancel() API instead. :( 19:14 <stefanha> f4bug: The way to decide is: will the current function return to the event loop and is there someone who will handle the request completion callback when cancel finishes? 19:14 <stefanha> f4bug: If the next line of code requires the request to finished then async cancel cannot be used. 19:15 <stefanha> f4bug: On the other hand, if the function can return and it's okay for the request to cancel at some future time then you can use async. So I'll revisit this patch :) --- hw/ide/core.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/hw/ide/core.c b/hw/ide/core.c index d997a78e47..e3a9ce7d25 100644 --- a/hw/ide/core.c +++ b/hw/ide/core.c @@ -1315,7 +1315,8 @@ static void ide_reset(IDEState *s) trace_ide_reset(s); if (s->pio_aiocb) { - blk_aio_cancel(s->pio_aiocb); + /* If there is a pending AIO callback, invoke it now. */ + blk_aio_cancel_async(s->pio_aiocb); s->pio_aiocb = NULL; } -- 2.21.3
