Subject: [PATCH 4/5] util/async: hold AioContext ref to prevent use-after-free
The tests/test-bdrv-drain /bdrv-drain/iothread/drain test case does the
following:
1. The preadv coroutine calls aio_bh_schedule_oneshot() and then yields.
2. The one-shot BH executes in another AioContext. All it does is call
aio_co_wakeup(preadv_co).
3. The preadv coroutine is re-entered and returns.
There is a race condition in aio_co_wake() where the preadv coroutine
returns and the test case destroys the preadv IOThread. aio_co_wake()
can still be running in the other AioContext and it performs an access
to the freed IOThread AioContext.
Here is the race in aio_co_schedule():
QSLIST_INSERT_HEAD_ATOMIC(&ctx->scheduled_coroutines,
co, co_scheduled_next);
<-- race: co may execute before we invoke qemu_bh_schedule()!
qemu_bh_schedule(ctx->co_schedule_bh);
So if co causes ctx to be freed then we're in trouble. Fix this problem
by holding a reference to ctx.
