From: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> The unrealize functions of the various vhost-user devices are calling the corresponding vhost_*_set_status() functions with a status of 0 to shut down the device correctly.
Now these vhost_*_set_status() functions all follow this scheme: bool should_start = virtio_device_should_start(vdev, status); if (vhost_dev_is_started(&vvc->vhost_dev) == should_start) { return; } if (should_start) { /* ... do the initialization stuff ... */ } else { /* ... do the cleanup stuff ... */ } The problem here is virtio_device_should_start(vdev, 0) currently always returns "true" since it internally only looks at vdev->started instead of looking at the "status" parameter. Thus once the device got started once, virtio_device_should_start() always returns true and thus the vhost_*_set_status() functions return early, without ever doing any clean-up when being called with status == 0. This causes e.g. problems when trying to hot-plug and hot-unplug a vhost user devices multiple times since the de-initialization step is completely skipped during the unplug operation. This bug has been introduced in commit 9f6bcfd99f ("hw/virtio: move vm_running check to virtio_device_started") which replaced should_start = status & VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK; with should_start = virtio_device_started(vdev, status); which later got replaced by virtio_device_should_start(). This blocked the possibility to set should_start to false in case the status flag VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK was not set. Fix it by adjusting the virtio_device_should_start() function to only consider the status flag instead of vdev->started. Since this function is only used in the various vhost_*_set_status() functions for exactly the same purpose, it should be fine to fix it in this central place there without any risk to change the behavior of other code.
