Stefano Garzarella says: ==================== vsock/virtio: several fixes in the .probe() and .remove() During the review of "[PATCH] vsock/virtio: Initialize core virtio vsock before registering the driver", Stefan pointed out some possible issues in the .probe() and .remove() callbacks of the virtio-vsock driver. This series tries to solve these issues: - Patch 1 adds RCU critical sections to avoid use-after-free of 'the_virtio_vsock' pointer. - Patch 2 stops workers before to call vdev->config->reset(vdev) to be sure that no one is accessing the device. - Patch 3 moves the works flush at the end of the .remove() to avoid use-after-free of 'vsock' object. v2: - Patch 1: use RCU to protect 'the_virtio_vsock' pointer - Patch 2: no changes - Patch 3: flush works only at the end of .remove() - Removed patch 4 because virtqueue_detach_unused_buf() returns all the buffers allocated. v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10964733/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
