[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/4] virtio-blk: avoid dataplane VirtIOBlockReq early free

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

VirtIOBlockReq is freed later by virtio_blk_free_request() in
hw/block/virtio-blk.c.  Remove this extraneous g_slice_free().

This patch fixes the following segfault:

  0x00005555556373af in virtio_blk_rw_complete (opaque=0x5555565ff5e0, ret=0) at hw/block/virtio-blk.c:99
  99          bdrv_acct_done(req->dev->bs, &req->acct);
  (gdb) print req
  $1 = (VirtIOBlockReq *) 0x5555565ff5e0
  (gdb) print req->dev
  $2 = (VirtIOBlock *) 0x0
  (gdb) bt
