[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 10/17] block-backend: Fix potential double blk_delete()

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

blk_unref() first decreases the refcount of the BlockBackend and calls
blk_delete() if the refcount reaches zero. Requests can still be in
flight at this point, they are only drained during blk_delete():

At this point, arbitrary callbacks can run. If any callback takes a
temporary BlockBackend reference, it will first increase the refcount to
1 and then decrease it to 0 again, triggering another blk_delete(). This
will cause a use-after-free crash in the outer blk_delete().

Fix it by draining the BlockBackend before decreasing to refcount to 0.
Assert in blk_ref() that it never takes the first refcount (which would
mean that the BlockBackend is already being deleted).
