[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 37/67] throttle: Correct access to wrong BlockBacken


From: Michael Roth
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 37/67] throttle: Correct access to wrong BlockBackendPublic structures
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 18:44:31 -0600

From: Alberto Garcia <address@hidden>

In 27ccdd52598290f0f8b58be56e235aff7aebfaf3 the throttling fields were
moved from BlockDriverState to BlockBackend. However in a few cases
the code started using throttling fields from the active BlockBackend
instead of the round-robin token, making the algorithm behave
incorrectly.

This can cause starvation if there's a throttling group with several
drives but only one of them has I/O.
