[PATCH] virtio_mem: break device on remove
From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Fri Jan 14 2022 - 16:43:35 EST
A common pattern for device reset is currently:
vdev->config->reset(vdev);
.. cleanup ..
reset prevents new interrupts from arriving and waits for interrupt
handlers to finish.
However if - as is common - the handler queues a work request which is
flushed during the cleanup stage, we have code adding buffers / trying
to get buffers while device is reset. Not good.
This was reproduced by running
modprobe virtio_console
modprobe -r virtio_console
in a loop, and this reasoning seems to apply to virtio mem though
I could not reproduce it there.
Fix this up by calling virtio_break_device + flush before reset.
