hw/scsi/vmw_pvscsi: Remove assertion for kick after reset
When running Ubuntu 3.13.0-65-generic guest, QEMU sometimes crashes during guest ACPI reset. It crashes on assert(s->rings_info_valid) in pvscsi_process_io(). Analyzing the crash revealed that it happens when userspace issues a sync during a reboot syscall. Below are backtraces we gathered from the guests. Guest backtrace when issuing PVSCSI_CMD_ADAPTER_RESET: pci_device_shutdown device_shutdown init_pid_ns init_pid_ns kernel_power_off SYSC_reboot Guest backtrace when issuing PVSCSI_REG_OFFSET_KICK_RW_IO: scsi_done scsi_dispatch_cmd blk_add_timer scsi_request_fn elv_rb_add __blk_run_queue queue_unplugged blk_flush_plug_list blk_finish_plug ext4_writepages set_next_entity do_writepages __filemap_fdatawrite_range filemap_write_and_wait_range ext4_sync_file ext4_sync_file do_fsync sys_fsync Since QEMU pvscsi should imitate VMware pvscsi device emulation, we decided to imitate VMware's behavior in this case. To check VMware behavior, we wrote a kernel module that issues a reset to the pvscsi device and then issues a kick. We ran it on VMware ESXi 6.5 and it seems that it simply ignores the kick. Hence, we decided to ignore the kick as well.
