Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] vhost/vsock: add VHOST_RESET_OWNER ioctl
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 20:58:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622175808.508084-5-andrey.drobyshev@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622175808.508084-1-andrey.drobyshev@virtuozzo.com>
From: Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com>
This ioctl is needed for QEMU's CPR (checkpoint-restore) migration of
the guest with vhost-vsock device. For this to work, we need to reset
the device ownership on the source side by calling RESET_OWNER, and then
claim it on the dest side by calling SET_OWNER. We expect not to lose any
AF_VSOCK connection while this happens.
RESET_OWNER keeps the guest CID hashed, so that connections survive. That
leaves the device reachable by the lockless send path while the worker is
being torn down: a concurrent vhost_transport_send_pkt() can call
vhost_vq_work_queue() as vhost_workers_free() frees the worker. That might
cause a use-after-free of vq->worker. In addition, any work queued onto
the dying worker leaves VHOST_WORK_QUEUED stuck, stalling send_pkt_queue
after resume.
Fence the send path around the teardown: send_pkt() only kicks the worker
while the backend is alive (otherwise the skb stays queued and
vhost_vsock_start() drains it on resume). And reset_owner() calls
synchronize_rcu() after drop_backends() so in-flight senders finish before
the worker is freed.
