Right now, rate limiting is protected by the AioContext mutex, which is taken for example both by the block jobs and by qmp_block_job_set_speed (via find_block_job). We would like to remove the dependency of block layer code on the AioContext mutex, since most drivers and the core I/O code are already not relying on it. However, there is no existing lock that can easily be taken by both ratelimit_set_speed and ratelimit_calculate_delay, especially because the latter might run in coroutine context (and therefore under a CoMutex) but the former will not. Since concurrent calls to ratelimit_calculate_delay are not possible, one idea could be to use a seqlock to get a snapshot of slice_ns and slice_quota. But for now keep it simple, and just add a mutex to the RateLimit struct; block jobs are generally not performance critical to the point of optimizing the clock cycles spent in synchronization. This also requires the introduction of init/destroy functions, so add them to the two users of ratelimit.h. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
