ide_cancel_dma_sync() is called with a "IDEState *s" for one of the
two IDE drives on a bus (primary or secondary drive) to cancel all
pending DMA transfers on the drive. The code then checks
s->bus->dma->aiocb to see whether there is any IO in flight on the
*bus* and then calls blk_drain(s->blk) to wait for its completion.
However, s->bus->dma->aiocb might belong to the other drive on the
bus, and if there is no disk attached to the current drive, s->blk
is NULL. Since blk_drain() does not check its parameter for a NULL
pointer, QEMU can crash in such a case.

To fix the problem, we have to check that "blk" is not NULL before
calling blk_drain(). And we have to call blk_drain() for both drives,
otherwise the assert(s->bus->dma->aiocb == NULL) statement after
the blk_drain() might trigger if the IO in flight belongs to the
the other drive.

Doesn't ide_bus_active_if() do the right thing here for in-flight requests? I'd expect to be able to do something like:

  if (s->bus->dma->aiocb) {
      trace_ide_cancel_dma_sync_remaining();
      blk_drain(ide_bus_active_if(s->bus)->blk);
  }


ATB,

Mark.
