[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block/iscsi: use a bh to schedule co reentrance

[Peter Lieven]

this fixes a potential segfault and performance regression.

If the coroutine is reentered directly in the iscsi_co_generic_cb
iscsi_process_{read,write} are interrupted and reentered any
time later. One the one hand this could happen after an iscsi_close
where the iscsi context is already gone (segfault). On the
other hand this limits the number of processed callbacks
in each aio_dispatch to one (potential performance regression).
