Subject[PATCH] kvmgt: Hold struct kvm reference
From
Date
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.
