[v4,01/12] job: Context changes in job_completed_txn_abort()

Commit Message

Hanna Czenczek Sept. 7, 2021, 12:42 p.m. UTC

Finalizing the job may cause its AioContext to change.  This is noted by
job_exit(), which points at job_txn_apply() to take this fact into
account.

However, job_completed() does not necessarily invoke job_txn_apply()
(through job_completed_txn_success()), but potentially also
job_completed_txn_abort().  The latter stores the context in a local
variable, and so always acquires the same context at its end that it has
released in the beginning -- which may be a different context from the
one that job_exit() releases at its end.  If it is different, qemu
aborts ("qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted").

Drop the local @outer_ctx variable from job_completed_txn_abort(), and
instead re-acquire the actual job's context at the end of the function,
so job_exit() will release the same.
