blockjob: add .clean property
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Cleaning up after we have deferred to the main thread but before the
transaction has converged can be dangerous and result in deadlocks
if the job cleanup invokes any BH polling loops.

A job may attempt to begin cleaning up, but may induce another job to
enter its cleanup routine. The second job, part of our same transaction,
will block waiting for the first job to finish, so neither job may now
make progress.

To rectify this, allow jobs to register a cleanup operation that will
always run regardless of if the job was in a transaction or not, and
if the transaction job group completed successfully or not.

Move sensitive cleanup to this callback instead which is guaranteed to
be run only after the transaction has converged, which removes sensitive
timing constraints from said cleanup.

Furthermore, in future patches these cleanup operations will be performed
regardless of whether or not we actually started the job. Therefore,
cleanup callbacks should essentially confine themselves to undoing create
operations, e.g. setup actions taken in what is now backup_start.
