util/async: use qemu_aio_coroutine_enter in co_schedule_bh_cb
AIO Coroutines shouldn't by managed by an AioContext different than the one assigned when they are created. aio_co_enter avoids entering a coroutine from a different AioContext, calling aio_co_schedule instead. Scheduled coroutines are then entered by co_schedule_bh_cb using qemu_coroutine_enter, which just calls qemu_aio_coroutine_enter with the current AioContext obtained with qemu_get_current_aio_context. Eventually, co->ctx will be set to the AioContext passed as an argument to qemu_aio_coroutine_enter. This means that, if an IO Thread's AioConext is being processed by the Main Thread (due to aio_poll being called with a BDS AioContext, as it happens in AIO_WAIT_WHILE among other places), the AioContext from some coroutines may be wrongly replaced with the one from the Main Thread. This is the root cause behind some crashes, mainly triggered by the drain code at block/io.c. The most common are these abort and failed assertion: util/async.c:aio_co_schedule 456 if (scheduled) { 457 fprintf(stderr, 458 "%s: Co-routine was already scheduled in '%s'\n", 459 __func__, scheduled); 460 abort(); 461 } util/qemu-coroutine-lock.c: 286 assert(mutex->holder == self); But it's also known to cause random errors at different locations, and even SIGSEGV with broken coroutine backtraces. By using qemu_aio_coroutine_enter directly in co_schedule_bh_cb, we can pass the correct AioContext as an argument, making sure co->ctx is not wrongly altered.
