Subject: [PATCH v2] vhost-scsi: flush backend after device ioctls
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:09:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724060919.1569170-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721073639.1532488-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com>

vhost-scsi translates guest response descriptors into userspace iovecs
when commands are submitted.  Target-core completes those commands
asynchronously, so VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE can replace the memory table while
an in-flight command still retains response iovecs translated through the
old table.

If the old mapping is reused after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE returns, command
completion can write the response to an unrelated userspace object.

Flush the vhost-scsi backend after vhost_dev_ioctl() handles a device
ioctl.  This waits for in-flight commands that can still use the old
response iovecs before the ioctl returns.

Changes in v2:
- Shorten the changelog and remove investigation details.
