    block/linux-aio: acquire AioContext before qemu_laio_process_completions · e091f0e9
    Sergio Lopez authored
    
    
    In qemu_laio_process_completions_and_submit, the AioContext is acquired
    before the ioq_submit iteration and after qemu_laio_process_completions,
    but the latter is not thread safe either.
    
    This change avoids a number of random crashes when the Main Thread and
    an IO Thread collide processing completions for the same AioContext.
    This is an example of such crash:
    
     - The IO Thread is trying to acquire the AioContext at aio_co_enter,
       which evidences that it didn't lock it before:
