[PATCH] virtio-gpu/virgl: free BHs and timers on renderer reset

[PATCH] virtio-gpu/virgl: free BHs and timers on renderer reset

[marcandre.lureau]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

virtio_gpu_virgl_reset() does not free the bottom halves or timers
allocated by the previous virtio_gpu_virgl_init() call. A subsequent
virtio_gpu_virgl_init() overwrites the old pointers, leaking the
previous allocations.

Fixes: bd9258917fbf ("virtio-gpu: Destroy virgl resources on virtio-gpu reset")

Don't we need some ptr checks in virtio_gpu_gl_device_unrealize so a
reset followed by an unplug doesn't causes segs chasing now NULL
pointers?

Good point, actually we should be safe, since render_state < RS_INITED.

But those qemu_bh_delete().. can we make it safe to call with NULL?
timer_free() was fixed already.

That seems sane as it will be on the exit path. I wouldn't tolerate
NULL for any of the other qemu_bh functions though.

This Fixes: tag needs to be corrected. bd9258917fbf^ already reset the
renderer and re-entered virtio_gpu_virgl_init(), overwriting the 
allocations. That behavior began in 7e688d1bf515, so the current tag 
misses older affected releases. Please use:

Fixes: 7e688d1bf515 ("virtio-gpu: Handle virtio_gpu_virgl_init() failure")

With the Fixes tag corrected:
