[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] io: remove mistaken call to object_ref on QTask

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

The QTask struct is just a standalone struct, not a QOM Object,
so calling object_ref() on it is not appropriate. This results
in mangling the 'destroy' field in the QTask struct, causing
the later call to qtask_free() to try to call the function
at address 0x1, with predictably segfault happy results.

There is in fact no need for ref counting with QTask, as the
call to qtask_abort() or qtask_complete() will automatically
free associated memory.

This fixes the crash shown in
