Add a qtest-based stress test suite racing 9pfs server-side state.
This patch adds the first race test "race/fid-path" for this new
test suite: it races (per round) one Tlcreate (which is mutating
the FID path) against a number of reader requests (Twalk and
Txattrwalk) on the same FID.
This very first 9pfs race test guards CVE-2026-93834 (fixed by
commit fe9e30899f "hw/9pfs: Use read-write lock for protecting fid
path.").
Hitting the small race window is timing dependant, so this is a
probabilistic test, not a deterministic one. During my tests the
(unpatched) vulnerability triggered sometimes after few hundred
rounds, and sometimes after >100k rounds. Furthermore, it expects
QEMU being compiled with a sanitizer (e.g. ASan) which is
supposed to detect the actual race (e.g. by memory violation):
../configure --enable-virtfs --enable-debug \
--extra-cflags="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer" \
--extra-ldflags="-fsanitize=address" ...
Even though this is a new test suite, in the codebase separate
from the already existing deterministic 9pfs test cases (while
9p test client code being shared between the two test suites),
this new race test suite is run with the same binary as the
other qtests. However being a very slow test, it is registered
as such, so the -m slow argument is required for this race test
to run (as it is skipped by default):
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 \
tests/qtest/qos-test -m slow
Or if you only want to run this single race test (e.g. on x86_64):
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 \
tests/qtest/qos-test -m slow -p \
/x86_64/pc/i440FX-pcihost/pci-bus-pc/pci-bus/virtio-9p-pci/virtio-9p/virtio-9p-tests/race/fid-path
On other systems, use `tests/qtest/qos-test -l` to get the correct
(arch dependent) full test name.
`ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0` is currently required, it suppresses
a memory leak error at the end of each race test, which is a known
QEMU shutdown memory leak, unrelated to 9p server or this race test
suite. The official QEMU CI pipeline sets
`ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0` by default for this reason.
There are some knobs that can be controlled via environment
variables:
V9FS_RACE: skip test suite by setting to 0 or force running by
setting to 1
V9FS_RACE_ROUNDS: total amount of rounds to run
(default: 20000)
V9FS_RACE_NCONCURRENT: amount of concurrent reader requests
(default: 4)
A full run with 20000 rounds took around 7 minutes on my test
machine. If you can't hit the (narrow) race window with
unpatched QEMU, it might help to either add some load on the
host system and/or turning the two knobs above.

Add v9fs_tcreate() and v9fs_rcreate() functions to the 9p test
client for the legacy 9p2000(.u) Tcreate request type.
This is a preparatory patch, these functions will be used by the
subsequently added 9p race test.

So far v9fs_tattach() always sent an implied Tversion request, which
was supposed to be a convenient mechanisms such that not every test
case code would need to call v9fs_tversion() prior to a
v9fs_tattach(). The problem however is that this implicit Tversion
defaults to 9p2000.L, and it would also be (re)sent if an explicit
v9fs_tversion() call had been issued with 9p2000.u before, which then
would reset the session to the unintended 9p2000.L protocol version.
Fix this by storing the initial Tversion request's (desired) protocol
version to the client object. And only issue the implicit Tversion
request inside of v9fs_tattach() if no protocol version had been
negotiated already.
This is a preparatory patch for the subsequently added race test,
which negotiates a 9p2000.u session.
It also allows request / response handling to later become more
protocol dialect aware (e.g. expecting specific request / response
types according to negotiated protocol version during a session).

Add v9fs_txattrwalk() and v9fs_rxattrwalk() functions to the 9p test
client. This can be used to retrieve a list of xattrs or to acquire
a FID that can subsequently be used to retrieve the value of an xattr.
This is a preparatory patch, these functions will be used by the
subsequently added 9p race test.

Concurrent legacy Tread requests (9p2000.u) on the same directory FID
race the FID's shared dirent stream.
In the initial Tread implementation (a92315553d) the dirent stream
was entirely unprotected. Commit 7cde47d4a8 introduced a lock, which
mitigated the problem, but without sufficient full coverage for this
request type, as it only held the lock during individual dirent
stream steps. A concurrent request could mutate the dirent stream in
between. Furthermore the initial rewinddir() (to offset 0) was still
not protected at all.
This could cause corrupted directory entries being returned to
client, with entries missing, duplicate entries and wrong order, up
to heap corruption of 9p server's QEMU process due to garbage seek
targets.
Fix this by holding the lock for the entire directory reading
transaction (i.e. for the whole v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat() call).
Fixes: a92315553d ("virtio-9p: Add P9_TREAD support")

From: Christian Schoenebeck @ 2026-10-19 14:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Greg Kurz, Peter Maydell
Add "race/tread-dir" test, a test racing legacy (9p2000.u)
Tread requests against each other on the same directory FID.
This test guards the previous fix patch ("hw/9pfs: fix dirent
stream protection for legacy (9p2000.u) Tread").
In each round a configurable number (V9FS_RACE_NCONCURRENT) of
concurrent Tread requests are issued against each other, verifying
that every Tread response lists the same (leading) directory entries
as a reference directory entry list taken before the actual
concurrent Tread request sequence starts.
A vulnerable server would return directory entries either with
corrupted entry names, or entries in varying order, or even crash
the QEMU process due to garbage dirent seek targets.
This test is explicitly using a 9p2000.u session, as Tread on
directories is not a 9p2000.L feature (the latter uses Treaddir
instead).
This test is registered as slow test (i.e. skipped by default) and
therefore requires -m slow to run.
On my test machine a full run of 20000 rounds took around 5 minutes
to complete.

Add v9fs_rerror() function to the 9p test client. This function is
the legacy 9p2000.u variant for returned errors (i.e. in contrast
to the already existing Rlerror response handler function
v9fs_rlerror() for the 9p2000.L protocol version).

Add "race/readdir" test, a test racing Treaddir's directory stream.
In each round a Treaddir request is sent against another Treaddir
request or Tstat request on the same FID.
This test is registered as slow test (i.e. skipped by default) and
therefore requires -m slow to run.
On my test machine a full run of 20000 rounds took around 1 minute
to complete.

Add v9fs_tstat() and v9fs_rstat() functions to the 9p test client.
Since this is a request type that exists both in legacy 9p2000.u
and modern 9p2000.L protocol version, error responses types might
differ (Rerror vs. Rlerror). Therefore v9fs_tstat() is using an
error type tolerant helper function v9fs_req_check_err() for
processing expected errors with this request type.
