Good point, this might be the same bug then.
If everything worked correctly, a job completion could only happen on
the outer bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore(). But after that, we are already
in a drain section, so the job should be quiesced and a second drain
shouldn't cause any additional graph changes.
I would have to go back to the other discussion, but I think it was
related to block jobs that are already in the completion process and
keep moving forward even though they are supposed to be quiesced.
If I remember correctly, actually pausing them at this point looked
difficult. Maybe what we should then do is letting .drained_poll return
true until they have actually fully completed?
Ah, but was this something that would deadlock because the job
completion callbacks use drain sections themselves?

Sergio, can you provide the backtrace and also test if the theory with a
job completion in the middle of the process is what you actually hit?
