[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: Acquire the AioContext in guess_disk_lchs()

[Alberto Garcia]

This fixes the following crash:

{ "execute": "blockdev-add",
  "arguments": {"driver": "null-co", "node-name": "hd0"}}
{ "execute": "object-add",
  "arguments": {"qom-type": "iothread", "id": "iothread0"}}
{ "execute": "x-blockdev-set-iothread",
  "arguments": {"node-name": "hd0", "iothread": "iothread0"}}
{ "execute": "device_add",
  "arguments": {"id": "virtio0", "driver": "virtio-blk-pci",
                "drive": "hd0"}}
qemu: qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted
Aborted
