Commit Message

Greg Kurz April 30, 2020, 3:53 p.m. UTC
Locking was introduced to address the deprecation of readdir_r(3)
in glibc 2.24. It turns out that the frontend code is the worst
place to handle a critical section with a pthread mutex: the code
runs in a coroutine on behalf of the QEMU mainloop and then yields
control, waiting for the fsdev backend to process the request in a
worker thread. If the client resends another readdir request for the
same fid before the previous one finally unlocked the mutex, we're
deadlocked. This never bit us because the linux client serializes
readdir requests for the same fid, but the small qtest in this patch
demonstrates how easy it would be for a guest to hang QEMU.

A solution could be to use CoMutex instead of QemuMutex, but it seems
better to narrow the critical section to the worker thread code and to
return a copy of the dirent to the frontend.
