[PATCH v2 3/3] vsock/virtio: fix flush of works during the .remove()

From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
Date: 2019-06-28 12:37:33
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, virtio and vhost vsock driver, virtio core, vm sockets (af_vsock) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Stefan Hajnoczi, Stefano Garzarella, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang, Eugenio Pérez

This patch moves the flush of works after vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev),
because we need to be sure that no workers run before to free the
'vsock' object.

Since we stopped the workers using the [tx|rx|event]_run flags,
we are sure no one is accessing the device while we are calling
vdev->config->reset(vdev), so we can safely move the workers' flush.

Before the vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev), workers can be scheduled
by VQ callbacks, so we must flush them after del_vqs(), to avoid
use-after-free of 'vsock' object.
