Subject: [PATCH 1/1] linux-user: Hold the fd-trans lock across fork
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 08:47:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250314124742.4965-1-geofft@ldpreload.com> (raw)
If another thread is holding target_fd_trans_lock during a fork, then the lock
becomes permanently locked in the child and the emulator deadlocks at the next
interaction with the fd-trans table. As with other locks, acquire the lock in
fork_start() and release it in fork_end().
Signed-off-by: Geoffrey Thomas <geofft@ldpreload.com>
Fixes: c093364f4d91 "fd-trans: Fix race condition on reallocation of the translation table."
Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2846
