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.
IIUC the worker was still running because the /dev/vhost-vsock file was
not explicitly closed, so vhost_vsock_dev_release() was called in the
do_exit() of the process.
In that case there was the issue, because vhost_dev_check_owner()
returned false in vhost_vsock_stop() since current->mm was NULL.
So it returned earlier, without calling vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, NULL).
This did not stop the worker from continuing to run, causing the
multiple issues we are seeing.
current->mm was NULL, because in the do_exit() the address space is
cleaned in the exit_mm(), which is called before releasing the files
into the exit_task_work().
This can be seen from the logs, where we see first the warnings printed
by vhost_dev_cleanup() and then the panic in the worker (e.g. here
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashLog&x=16a61fce700000)
Mike also added a few more helpful details in this thread:
