[Qemu-devel] assert and crash on hot-unplug

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Hi,

a regression test of CVE-2011-1751 (fixed by
505597e4476a6bc219d0ec1362b760d71cb4fdca) found that when writing 2 to
0xae08, qemu-system-i386 crashes with

ERROR:qom/object.c:386:object_finalize: assertion failed: (obj->ref == 0)

A simple way to reproduce this (in qemu 1.1 or 1.2) is:

address@hidden:~/qa-regression-testing/scripts$ 
~/src/qemu/i386-softmmu/qemu-system-i386 -usb -monitor stdio -vnc :1 -hda x.img
QEMU 1.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) o 0xae08 2
**
ERROR:qom/object.c:386:object_finalize: assertion failed: (obj->ref == 0)
Aborted (core dumped)

I don't think it's a regression of the CVE, as some added printfs show it is
the usb controller which is being unplugged (dev 1, fn 2, not dev 1 fn 3).

  Bus  0, device   1, function 2:
    USB controller: PCI device 8086:7020
      IRQ 11.
      BAR4: I/O at 0xc040 [0xc05f].
      id ""
  Bus  0, device   1, function 3:
    Bridge: PCI device 8086:7113
      IRQ 9.
      id ""
