We don't destroy region cache during reset which can make the maps
of previous driver leaked to a buggy or malicious driver that don't
set vring address before starting to use the device. Fix this by
destroy the region cache during reset and validate it before trying to
use them. While at it, also validate address_space_cache_init() during
virtio_init_region_cache() to make sure we have a correct region
cache.

I'm not sure that virtio_error is the right thing here; ending up in
this function with !caches indicates an error in our logic.
Probably not, this can be triggered by buggy guest.
I would think that even a buggy guest should not be able to trigger
accesses to vring structures that have not yet been set up. What am I
missing?
I think this may happen if a driver start the device without setting the
vring address. In this case, region caches cache the mapping of previous
driver. But maybe I was wrong.
So the sequence would be:

- Driver #1 sets up the device, then abandons it without cleaning up
via reset
If driver #1 reset the device in this case, the caches would be NULL.
Hm, how? Without your patch, the queue addresses are reset to 0 in that
case but the cache is not cleaned up.


Yes, but with this patch, caches will be set to NULL during reset. So the following vq access without seting queue pfn may hit NULL.

Thanks
