I think you're right about this. Dataplane has an event_notifier_set; we should move it to virtio_queue_aio_set_host_notifier_handler and add it to virtio_queue_set_host_notifier_handler. I'll send v3 today. Paolo

I'll send v3 today. As discussed on IRC, even that wouldn't be safe. The good news is that this patch is not necessary, because virtio_queue_aio_set_host_notifier_handler(s->vq, s->ctx, false, false) is called inside aio_context_acquire. Paolo

There is no need to run the handler one last time; the device is being reset and it is okay to drop requests that are pending in the virtqueue. Even in the case of migration, the requests would be processed when ioeventfd is re-enabled on the destination side: virtio_queue_set_host_notifier_fd_handler will call virtio_queue_host_notifier_read, which will start dataplane; the host notifier is then connected to the I/O thread and event_notifier_set is called to start processing it. By omitting this call, we dodge a possible cause of races between the dataplane thread on one side and the main/vCPU threads on the other. The virtio_queue_aio_set_host_notifier_handler function is now only ever called with assign=true, but for now this is left as is because the function parameters will change soon anyway.
