Subject: [PATCH] kvmgt: Hold struct kvm reference
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2017 20:38:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170320023814.18566.36538.stgit@gimli.home> (raw)

The kvmgt code keeps a pointer to the struct kvm associated with the
device, but doesn't actually hold a reference to it.  If we do unclean
shutdown testing (ie. killing the user process), then we can see the
kvm association to the device unset, which causes kvmgt to trigger a
device release via a work queue.  Naturally we cannot guarantee that
the cached struct kvm pointer is still valid at this point without
holding a reference.  The observed failure in this case is a stuck
cpu trying to acquire the spinlock from the invalid reference, but
other failure modes are clearly possible.  Hold a reference to avoid
this.
