Let's drop the rule_check() hunk then.

Let's have another look at the remaining patch hunk:
@@ -858,7 +864,12 @@ static void blkdebug_debug_event(BlockDriverState *bs,
BlkdebugEvent event)
}
while (actions_count[ACTION_SUSPEND] > 0) {
- qemu_coroutine_yield();
+ if (qemu_in_coroutine()) {
+ qemu_coroutine_yield();
+ } else {
+ error_report("Non-coroutine event %s cannot suspend\n",
+ BlkdebugEvent_lookup.array[event]);
+ }
actions_count[ACTION_SUSPEND]--;
}
}
If I understand this correctly, the user asked us to suspend, but it now
turns out suspend doesn't make sense, so we ignore the request.
Correct?
warn_report()? info_report()?
