block: Fix qemu crash when using scsi-block
Starting qemu with the following arguments causes qemu to segfault: ... -device lsi,id=lsi0 -drive file=iscsi:<...>,format=raw,if=none,node-name= iscsi1 -device scsi-block,bus=lsi0.0,id=<...>,drive=iscsi1 This patch fixes blk_aio_ioctl() so it does not pass stack addresses to blk_aio_ioctl_entry() which may be invoked after blk_aio_ioctl() returns. More details about the bug follow. blk_aio_ioctl() invokes blk_aio_prwv() with blk_aio_ioctl_entry as the coroutine parameter. blk_aio_prwv() ultimately calls aio_co_enter(). When blk_aio_ioctl() is executed from within a coroutine context (e.g. iscsi_bh_cb()), aio_co_enter() adds the coroutine (blk_aio_ioctl_entry) to the current coroutine's wakeup queue. blk_aio_ioctl() then returns. When blk_aio_ioctl_entry() executes later, it accesses an invalid pointer: .... BlkRwCo *rwco = &acb->rwco; rwco->ret = blk_co_ioctl(rwco->blk, rwco->offset, rwco->qiov->iov[0].iov_base); <--- qiov is invalid here ... In the case when blk_aio_ioctl() is called from a non-coroutine context, blk_aio_ioctl_entry() executes immediately. But if bdrv_co_ioctl() calls qemu_coroutine_yield(), blk_aio_ioctl() will return. When the coroutine execution is complete, control returns to blk_aio_ioctl_entry() after the call to blk_co_ioctl(). There is no invalid reference after this point, but the function is still holding on to invalid pointers. The fix is to change blk_aio_prwv() to accept a void pointer for the IO buffer rather than a QEMUIOVector. blk_aio_prwv() passes this through in BlkRwCo and the coroutine function casts it to QEMUIOVector or uses the void pointer directly.
