Commit febf84c2 tried to delay in-memory modification of the actual
domain disk structure until after the qemu event was received.
However, I missed that the code for block pivot had been temporarily
setting disk->src = disk->mirror prior to the qemu command, in order
to label the backing chain of a reused external blockcopy disk;
and calls into qemu while still in that state before finally undoing
things at the cleanup label. Since the qemu event handler then does:
virStorageSourceFree(disk->src);
disk->src = disk->mirror;
we have the sad race that a fast enough qemu event can cause a leak of
the original disk->src, as well as a use-after-free of the disk->mirror
contents, bad enough to crash libvirtd in some of my test runs, even
though the common case of the qemu event being much later won't trip
the race.
I'll go wear the brown paper bag of shame, for introducing a crasher
in between rc1 and rc2 of the freeze for 1.2.7 :( My only
consolation is that virDomainBlockJobAbort requires the domain:write
ACL, so it is not a CVE.
The valgrind report when the race occurs looks like:
