virtio-serial: fix segfault on disconnect
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since commit d4c19cd ("virtio-serial:
add missing virtio_detach_element() call") the following commands may
cause QEMU to segfault:

  $ qemu -M accel=kvm -cpu host -m 1G \
         -drive if=virtio,file=test.img,format=raw \
         -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0 \
         -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/chardev.sock,server,nowait \
         -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1
  $ nc -U /tmp/chardev.sock
  ^C

  (guest)$ cat /dev/zero >/dev/vport0p1

The segfault is non-deterministic: if the event loop notices the socket
has been closed then there is no crash.  The disconnect has to happen
right before QEMU attempts to write data to the socket.

The backtrace is as follows:

  Thread 1 "qemu-system-x86" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The do_flush_queued_data() function does not anticipate chardev close
events during vsc->have_data().  It expects port->elem to remain
non-NULL for the duration its for loop.

The fix is simply to return from do_flush_queued_data() if the port
closes because the close event already frees port->elem and drains the
virtqueue - there is nothing left for do_flush_queued_data() to do.
