[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] nbd-client: enter read_reply_co during init to avoid crash

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

The following segfault is encountered if the NBD server closes the UNIX
domain socket immediately after negotiation:

  Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is that nbd_client_init() uses
nbd_client_attach_aio_context() -> aio_co_schedule(new_context,
client->read_reply_co).  Execution of read_reply_co is deferred to a BH
which doesn't run until later.

In the mean time blk_co_preadv() can be called and nbd_coroutine_end()
calls aio_wake() on read_reply_co.  At this point in time
read_reply_co's ctx isn't set because it has never been entered yet.

This patch enters read_reply_co directly in
nbd_client_attach_aio_context().  This is safe because new_context is
acquired by the caller.  This ensures that read_reply_co reaches its
first yield point and its ctx is set up.

Note this only happens with UNIX domain sockets on Linux.  It doesn't
seem possible to reproduce this with TCP sockets.
