The following workflow triggers the crash referenced below: 1) vhost_vdpa_unsetup_vq_irq() unregisters the irq bypass producer but the producer->token is still valid. 2) vq context gets released and reassigned to another vq. 3) That other vq registers it's producer with the same vq context pointer as token in vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq(). 4) The original vq tries to unregister it's producer which it has already unlinked in step 1. irq_bypass_unregister_producer() will go ahead and unlink the producer once again. That happens because: a) The producer has a token. b) An element with that token is found. But that element comes from step 3. I see 3 ways to fix this: 1) Fix the vhost-vdpa part. What this patch does. vfio has a different workflow. 2) Set the token to NULL directly in irq_bypass_unregister_producer() after unlinking the producer. But that makes the API asymmetrical. 3) Make irq_bypass_unregister_producer() also compare the pointer elements not just the tokens and do the unlink only on match. Any thoughts?
