From b0c057ca7e835b36c6050c7627634b664796c1d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:45:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix a theoretical race in device cleanup vhost_zerocopy_callback accesses VQ right after it drops a ubuf reference. In theory, this could race with device removal which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash on use after free. Do all accesses within rcu read side critical section, and synchronize on release. Since callbacks are always invoked from bh, synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help release complete a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
