Subject: [PATCH] accel/tcg: Properly unlink a TB linked to itself
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:04:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923230415.3688766-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)

When we remove dest from orig's links, we lose the link
that we rely on later to reset links.  This can lead to
failure to release from spinlock with self-modifying code.
