Hi,
this patch fixes the crash reported by Anton Nefedov here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2017-11/msg00159.html
I can reproduce it easily with the change he mentions there, or by
tweaking iotest 030 as I show here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2017-11/msg00934.html
I'm not convinced that this is the best solution, though. As Fam says
the block layer is getting complex and I think this can be solved in a
different way if the code is properly rewritten. Even with this
solution I think it would make sense to assert that the block job's
pause count is always 0 when the job is about to be destroyed and
perhaps keep a reference while it's being paused. But that's a bigger
change and we're close to the release so I opted for this more
conservative approach.
Regards,
Berto
