[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] commit: Fix use after free in completion

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

The final bdrv_set_backing_hd() could be working on already freed nodes
because the commit job drops its references (through BlockBackends) to
both overlay_bs and top already a bit earlier.

One way to trigger the bug is hot unplugging a disk for which
blockdev_mark_auto_del() cancels the block job.

Fix this by taking BDS-level references while we're still using the
nodes.
