The common virtio-scsi code in QEMU should guard against this. In
virtio-blk data plane I hit a similar case and ended up starting the
data plane thread (equivalent to vhost here) *before* the status
register is set to DRIVER_OK.
Thats exactly what my debug in vhost_scsi_set_status() shows.
set status started 0 val 0
set status started 0 val 0
set status started 0 val 0
set status started 0 val 0
set status started 0 val 0
set status started 0 val 3
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
We never got a chance to call vhost_scsi_start() as we are waiting
for DRIVER_OK.
This is the fix in SeaBIOS:

virtio-scsi: Set _DRIVER_OK flag before scsi target scanning
Before we start scsi target scanning, we need to set the
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK flag so the device can do setup properly.
This fix a bug when booting tcm_vhost with seabios.

Still, Gleb is right that SeaBIOS should not be able to crash QEMU;
exit(1) is fine, SIGSEGV is not.

This fixed the issue and makes the guest boot.
Thanks
