Can you verify this by single-stepping one or two loop iterations? ret
and errno after the read call could be interesting, too.
Maybe the compiler is just too smart. Without some form of barrier
it could just optimize the loop away as laiocb->ret couldn't change
in a normal single-threaded environment.
It probably could in theory, but in practice we're in a read() inside
qemu_laio_completion, so it didn't do it here.
if you supply a patch that will add some usleeps at the point in
question i'm willing to test if it solves the 100% cpu problem.
