We're currently allowing the process_incoming_migration_bh bottom-half
to run without holding a reference to the 'current_migration' object,
which leads to a segmentation fault if the BH is still live after
migration_shutdown() has dropped the last reference to
current_migration.
In my system the bug manifests as migrate_multifd() returning true
when it shouldn't and multifd_load_shutdown() calling
multifd_recv_terminate_threads() which crashes due to an uninitialized
multifd_recv_state.
Fix the issue by holding a reference to the object when scheduling the
BH and dropping it before returning from the BH. The same is already
done for the cleanup_bh at migrate_fd_cleanup_schedule().

Hmm, I saw a pretty old stack mentioned in commit fd392cfa8e6:
Original output:

Would that be the same case that you mentioned here? As vm_shutdown() is
indeed after migration_shutdown().
Even if so, two follow up comments..
(1) How did it help if process_incoming_migration_bh() took ref on
MigrationState*? I didn't even see it touching the object (instead, it
uses the incoming object)?
(2) This is what I'm just wondering.. on whether we should clear
current_migration to NULL in migration_shutdown() after we unref it.
Maybe it'll make such issues abort in an even clearer way.

The aio_bh_poll() -> aio_bh_call() sequence doesn't depend on
qemu_main_loop(). In the stack you found below it happens after
aio_wait_bh_oneshot() -> AIO_WAIT_WHILE -> aio_poll().

We touch MigrationState every time we check for a capability. See the
stack I posted above: process_incoming_migration_bh() ->
multifd_load_shutdown().
void multifd_load_shutdown(void)
{
if (migrate_multifd()) { <-- HERE
multifd_recv_terminate_threads(NULL);
}
}
The bug reproduces *without* multifd, because that check passes and we
go into multifd code that has not been initialized.
side note: we should probably introduce a MigrationOutgoingState to pair
with MigrationIncomingState and have both inside a global MigrationState
that contains the common elements. If you agree I can add this to our
todo list.

It hits the assert at migrate_get_current():
#4 0x00005643006e22ae in migrate_get_current () at ../migration/migration.c:246
#5 0x00005643006f0415 in migrate_late_block_activate () at ../migration/options.c:275
#6 0x00005643006e30e0 in process_incoming_migration_bh (opaque=0x564303b279f0) at ../migration/migration.c:603
#7 0x0000564300ba10cd in aio_bh_call (bh=0x564304823320) at ../util/async.c:169
#8 0x0000564300ba11e9 in aio_bh_poll (ctx=0x56430386c670) at ../util/async.c:216
...
#20 0x00005643006b62e4 in qemu_cleanup (status=0) at ../system/runstate.c:880
#21 0x000056430098508c in qemu_default_main () at ../system/main.c:38
#22 0x00005643009850ba in main (argc=35, argv=0x7ffc8bf703c8) at
#../system/main.c:4
Note that this breaks at migrate_late_block_activate(), which is even
earlier than the bug scenario at multifd_load_shutdown().
However we cannot set NULL currently because the BHs are still running
after migration_shutdown(). I don't know of a safe way to cancel/delete
a BH after it has (potentially) been scheduled already.

Yep, feel free to add an entry.
Though instead of MigrationOutgoingState, maybe it's easier to keep
MigrationState to be the "outgoing state", then move both caps/params (and
anything shared between src/dst) out of MigrationState? That can be a
separate struct, e.g., MigrationGlobals.

Indeed.. I am not sure whether migration can avoid using BHs some day.
E.g., I am not sure whether those tasks can be done synchronously under bql
already.
