During the process of hot-unplug in vhost-user-net NIC, vhost_user_cleanup may add same rcu node to rcu list. Function calls are as follows:
vhost_user_cleanup ->vhost_user_host_notifier_remove ->call_rcu(n, vhost_user_host_notifier_free, rcu); ->g_free_rcu(n, rcu); When this happens, QEMU will abort in try_dequeue: if (head == &dummy && qatomic_mb_read(&tail) == &dummy.next) { abort(); } Backtrace is as follows: 0 __pthread_kill_implementation () at /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 1 raise () at /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 2 abort () at /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 3 try_dequeue () at ../util/rcu.c:235 4 call_rcu_thread (0) at ../util/rcu.c:288 5 qemu_thread_start (0) at ../util/qemu-thread-posix.c:541 6 start_thread () at /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 7 clone3 () at /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 Reason for the abort is that adding two identical nodes to the rcu list will cause it becomes a ring. After dummy node is added to the tail of the list in try_dequeue, the ring is opened. But lead to a situation that only one node is added to list and rcu_call_count is added twice. This will cause try_dequeue abort. This issue happens when n->addr != 0 in vhost_user_host_notifier_remove. It can happens in a hotplug stress test with a 32queue vhost-user-net type NIC. Because n->addr is set in VHOST_USER_BACKEND_VRING_HOST_NOTIFIER_MSG function. during device hotplug process and it is cleared in vhost_dev_stop during device hot-unplug. Since VHOST_USER_BACKEND_VRING_HOST_NOTIFIER_MSG is a message sent by DPDK to qemu, it is asynchronous. So, there is no guaranteed order between the two processes of setting n->addr and clearing n->addr. If setting n->addr in hotplug occurs after clearing n->addr in hotunplug, the issue will occur. So, it is necessary to merge g_free_rcu and vhost_user_host_notifier_free into one rcu node.
