4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit dc6455a71c7fc5117977e197f67f71b49f27baba ] We tried to remove vq poll from wait queue, but do not check whether or not it was in a list before. This will lead double free. Fixing this by switching to use vhost_poll_stop() which zeros poll->wqh after removing poll from waitqueue to make sure it won't be freed twice.
