For rbd (and others), as described in “rbd: Run co BH CB in the
coroutine’s AioContext”, the pattern of setting a completion flag and
waking a coroutine that yields while the flag is not set can only work
when both run in the same thread.
iscsi has the same pattern, but the details are a bit different:
iscsi_co_generic_cb() can (as far as I understand) only run through
iscsi_service(), not just from a random thread at a random time.
iscsi_service() in turn can only be run after iscsi_set_events() set up
an FD event handler, which is done in iscsi_co_wait_for_task().
As a result, iscsi_co_wait_for_task() will always yield exactly once,
because iscsi_co_generic_cb() can only run after iscsi_set_events(),
after the completion flag has already been checked, and the yielding
coroutine will then be woken only once the completion flag was set to
true. So as far as I can tell, iscsi has no bug and already works fine.
Still, we don’t need the completion flag because we know we have to
yield exactly once, so we can drop it. This simplifies the code and
makes it more obvious that the “rbd bug” isn’t present here.
This makes iscsi_co_generic_bh_cb() and iscsi_retry_timer_expired() a
bit boring, so at least the former we can drop and call aio_co_wake()
directly from scsi_co_generic_cb() to the same effect. As for the
latter, the timer needs a CB, so we can’t drop it (I suppose we could
technically use aio_co_wake directly as the CB, but that would be
nasty), but we can put it into the coroutine’s AioContext to make its
aio_co_wake() a simple wrapper around qemu_coroutine_enter() without a
further BH indirection.
Finally, remove the iTask->co != NULL checks: This field is set by
iscsi_co_init_iscsitask(), which all users of IscsiTask run before even
setting up iscsi_co_generic_cb() as the callback, and it is never set or
cleared elsewhere, so it is impossible to not be set in
iscsi_co_generic_cb().
