block: fix QEMU crash with scsi-hd and drive_del
Removing a drive with drive_del while it is being used to run an I/O intensive workload can cause QEMU to crash. An AIO flush can yield at some point: blk_aio_flush_entry() blk_co_flush(blk) bdrv_co_flush(blk->root->bs) ... qemu_coroutine_yield() and let the HMP command to run, free blk->root and give control back to the AIO flush: hmp_drive_del() blk_remove_bs() bdrv_root_unref_child(blk->root) child_bs = blk->root->bs bdrv_detach_child(blk->root) bdrv_replace_child(blk->root, NULL) blk->root->bs = NULL g_free(blk->root) <============== blk->root becomes stale bdrv_unref(child_bs) bdrv_delete(child_bs) bdrv_close() bdrv_drained_begin() bdrv_do_drained_begin() bdrv_drain_recurse() aio_poll() ... qemu_coroutine_switch() and the AIO flush completion ends up dereferencing blk->root: blk_aio_complete() scsi_aio_complete() blk_get_aio_context(blk) bs = blk_bs(blk) ie, bs = blk->root ? blk->root->bs : NULL ^^^^^ stale The problem is that we should avoid making block driver graph changes while we have in-flight requests. Let's drain all I/O for this BB before calling bdrv_root_unref_child(). Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
