So this is a mitigation plan but the bug is still there though we don't know exactly what it is. I would prefer adding something like WARN_ON(mutex_is_locked(vqs[i]->mutex) here - does this make sense?
As a rework to this, or as a subsequent patch?
Can be a separate patch.
Just before the first lock I assume?
I guess so, yes.
No problem. Patch to follow.
I'm also going to attempt to debug the root cause, but I'm new to this subsystem to it might take a while for me to get my head around.
IIUC the root cause should be the same as the one we solved here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
The worker was not stopped before calling vhost_dev_cleanup(). So while the worker was still running we were going to free memory or initialize fields while it was still using virtqueue.
Right, and I agree but it's not the root though, we do attempt to stop all workers.
Exactly. This is what happens, but the question I'm going to attempt to answer is *why* does this happen.
