[PATCH v3 13/15] system/physmem: destroy ram block attributes before RCU-deferred reclaim
Posted by marcandre.lureau@redhat.com 3 days, 18 hours ago
From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

ram_block_attributes_destroy() was called from reclaim_ramblock(), which
runs as an RCU callback deferred by call_rcu().

However,when the RamDiscardManager is finalized, it will assert that its
source_list is empty in the next commit. Since the RCU callback hasn't
run yet, the source added by ram_block_attributes_create() is still
attached.

Move ram_block_attributes_destroy() into qemu_ram_free() so the source
is removed synchronously. This is safe because qemu_ram_free() during
shutdown runs after pause_all_vcpus(), so no vCPU thread can
concurrently access the attributes via kvm_convert_memory().
