dma-helpers: prevent dma_blk_cb() vs dma_aio_cancel() race
dma_blk_cb() only takes the AioContext lock around ->io_func(). That
means the rest of dma_blk_cb() is not protected. In particular, the
DMAAIOCB field accesses happen outside the lock.
There is a race when the main loop thread holds the AioContext lock and
invokes scsi_device_purge_requests() -> bdrv_aio_cancel() ->
dma_aio_cancel() while an IOThread executes dma_blk_cb(). The dbs->acb
field determines how cancellation proceeds. If dma_aio_cancel() sees
dbs->acb == NULL while dma_blk_cb() is still running, the request can be
completed twice (-ECANCELED and the actual return value).
The following assertion can occur with virtio-scsi when an IOThread is
used:
../hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c:368: scsi_dma_complete: Assertion `r->req.aiocb != NULL' failed.
Fix the race by holding the AioContext across dma_blk_cb(). Now
dma_aio_cancel() under the AioContext lock will not see
inconsistent/intermediate states.
