A guest can trigger unplugging 9pfs server's virtio-pci device via ACPI
eject. As a consequence the device is unrealized, server's internal state
is freed while pending coroutines would still have access to them, causing
a potential heap-use-after-free.
Overview Patches:
- Patch 1: this is the core fix, that drains all PDUs (i.e. coroutines
that handle individual pending requests in parallel) before freeing
server state.
- Patch 2: fixes a similar identified issue with the Xen transport, even
though not triggered via ACPI, it is also prone to UAF, plus a resource
leak.
v2:
- Patch 1: Make Jia the official author of this patch.
- Drop prev. patch 2 ("hw/9pfs/virtio: disable hotpluggable property...")
- Patch 2: defer explict xen_9pfs_disconnect() call from error paths of
xen_9pfs_pdu_vmarshal() and xen_9pfs_pdu_vunmarshal().

The unrealize path frees struct LocalData while a worker thread still holds a reference on it, causing a UAF in local_open_nofollow(). Fix this by draining all in-flight 9p PDUs by calling v9fs_reset() before final server cleanup. This ensures all coroutines completed, all FIDs are closed, and no worker thread still holds references on 9p server state when it is freed.

Iglesias The xen-9p disconnect path has two issues: 1. It frees the Xen9pfsRing structures while in-flight PDUs may still reference them via pdu->tag to index rings[]. This causes a UAF in xen_9pfs_push_and_notify() when worker threads resume after completing filesystem operations. 2. It never calls v9fs_device_unrealize_common(), which means server state (struct LocalData, mountfd, FIDs) is never cleaned up on disconnect, causing a resource leak on every guest-initiated disconnect. Fix both by draining in-flight PDUs via v9fs_reset() before tearing down rings, and calling v9fs_device_unrealize_common() to clean up server state. Additionally, explicit calls of xen_9pfs_disconnect() in the error paths of xen_9pfs_pdu_vmarshal() and xen_9pfs_pdu_vunmarshal() must be deferred (via aio_bh_schedule_oneshot()), because xen_9pfs_pdu_v(un)marshal() are running within a coroutine context which makes them unsafe [1] for calling v9fs_reset() directly, as the latter e.g. has a loop like: while (!QLIST_EMPTY(&s->active_list)) { aio_poll(qemu_get_aio_context(), true); } which would a) never terminate (as the coroutine is on the active_list) and b) aio_poll() is marked as no_coroutine_fn. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/3351181.5fSG56mABF@weasel/ And finally, add an idempotent guard to xen_9pfs_disconnect(), just for the case.
