[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 06/20] block: Avoid unnecessary aio_poll() in AIO_WAIT_WHILE()

[Kevin Wolf]

Commit 91af091f923 added an additional aio_poll() to BDRV_POLL_WHILE()
in order to make sure that all pending BHs are executed on drain. This
was the wrong place to make the fix, as it is useless overhead for all
other users of the macro and unnecessarily complicates the mechanism.

This patch effectively reverts said commit (the context has changed a
bit and the code has moved to AIO_WAIT_WHILE()) and instead polls in the
loop condition for drain.

The effect is probably hard to measure in any real-world use case
because actual I/O will dominate, but if I run only the initialisation
part of 'qemu-img convert' where it calls bdrv_block_status() for the
whole image to find out how much data there is copy, this phase actually
needs only roughly half the time after this patch.
