[Qemu-devel] 9pfs is broken in 2.5 (SIGSEGV) (bisected)

[Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>]

When trying to mount a 9p filesystem in guest in 2.5 qemu,
qemu immediately segfaults.

 qemu-system-x86_64 ...
  -fsdev local,security_model=none,id=fsd0,path=/tmp
  -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=fsd0,mount_tag=fsd0


 mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.u fsd0 /mnt
 (SIGSEGV)

The problem goes down to the following commit:

    virtio-9p: use QEMU thread pool

    The QEMU thread pool already has a mechanism to invoke callbacks in the main
    thread.  It does not need an EventNotifier and it is more efficient too.
    Use it instead of GAsyncQueue + GThreadPool + glue.

    As a side effect, it silences Coverity's complaint about an unchecked
    return value for event_notifier_init.

This is a heads-up for now, digging further.
