After diving into NBD's co-routines (this is 2nd time I do this) and speaking 
about this
with Max Reitz on IRC, could I suggest to extend the explanation a bit, 
something like that:


When nbd_close() is called from a coroutine, the connection_co never
gets to run, and thus nbd_teardown_connection() hangs.

This happens because the connection_co is woken up by nbd_teardown_connection() 
by closing the socket, 
which wakes up the IO channel on which the connection_co is blocked.

However connection_co is waken up by aio_co_wake, which has an assumption that 
if the caller is already in
a coroutine, the caller doesn't switch immediately to the woken coroutine, but 
rather it adds the coroutine to list
of coroutines to wake immediately after the current co-routine 
yields/terminates (self->co_queue_wakeup)
Since we instead do aio_poll, that never happens.


The patch itself looks fine, so
