    vhost-user: unregister slave req handler at cleanup time
    
    If the backend sends a request just before closing the socket,
    the aio dispatcher might schedule its reading after the vhost
    device has been cleaned, leading to a NULL pointer dereference
    in slave_read();
    
    vhost_user_cleanup() already closes the socket but it is not
    enough, the handler has to be unregistered.

    vhost: ensure vhost_ops are set before calling iotlb callback
    
    This patch fixes a crash that happens when vhost-user iommu
    support is enabled and vhost-user socket is closed.
    
    When it happens, if an IOTLB invalidation notification is sent
    by the IOMMU, vhost_ops's NULL pointer is dereferenced.

Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.6

Hi Maxime,

I'm verifying this bug. However, I tried latest dpdk-17.08-1.el8+4.x86_64, but seems dpdk vhost-user backend still doesn't support viommu as [1]. 

Could you please share which dpdk version we should use for verifying this bug? Thanks.

[1]
Versions:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.8.x86_64
dpdk-17.08-1.el8+4.x86_64
3.10.0-713.el7.x86_64

Testing steps:
1. Boot testpmd as vhost-user client 
# testpmd -l 19,17,15 --socket-mem=1024,1024 -n 4 \
--vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1,client=1' -- \
--portmask=3 --disable-hw-vlan -i --rxq=1 --txq=1 \
--nb-cores=2 --forward-mode=io

2. Boot VM as vhost-user server
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel7.4 -M q35,kernel-irqchip=split \
-device intel-iommu,device-iotlb=on,intremap \
-cpu host -m 8G \
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=8G,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
-numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
-smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.1,slot=1 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.2,slot=2 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.3,slot=3 \
-chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost-user1,server \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=54:52:00:1a:2c:01,iommu_platform=on,ats=on \
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
-drive file=/home/images_nfv-virt-rt-kvm/rhel7.4_nonrt.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-blk0,werror=stop,rerror=stop \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-blk0,id=virtio-blk0,bus=root.1 \
-vnc :2 \
-monitor stdio \

3. Both testpmd and qemu repeatedly show below info:
testpmd> 
...
VHOST_CONFIG: new device, handle is 0
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_GET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES

Hi Pei,

This feature is not yet in dpdk's upstream repository.
You can however try with latest version of my series I made availabe on Gitlab:

repo: https://gitlab.com/mcoquelin/dpdk-next-virtio.git
branch: https://gitlab.com/mcoquelin/dpdk-next-virtio/tree/vhost_iotlb_v2

Your Qemu command line looks good, it should work with the branch I provided you above.

Thanks,

Thanks Maxime.

I hit a regression bug on qemu z build, but it was not caused patches of this bug. This regression bug block me verifying this bug.

This regression issue is: guest and qemu will become hang when start the network using kernel driver in guest. This problem starts from qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.5.x86_64.

Here is the details:

Versions:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.5.x86_64
3.10.0-693.5.1.el7.x86_64
seabios-bin-1.10.2-3.el7_4.1.noarch

1. Compile dpdk from above repo and branch

2. Boot testpmd, then set porlist and start
# /root/test/dpdk-next-virtio/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/build/app/test-pmd/testpmd \
-l 19,17,15 --socket-mem=1024,1024 -n 4 \
-d /root/test/dpdk-next-virtio/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/librte_pmd_vhost.so \
--vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1' -- \
--portmask=3 --disable-hw-vlan -i --rxq=1 --txq=1 \
--nb-cores=2 --forward-mode=io

testpmd> set portlist 0,1
testpmd> start 

3. Boot qemu
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel7.4 -M q35,kernel-irqchip=split \
-device intel-iommu,device-iotlb=on,intremap \
-cpu host -m 8G \
-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=8G,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
-numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
-smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.1,slot=1 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.2,slot=2 \
-device pcie-root-port,id=root.3,slot=3 \
-chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vhost-user1 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=54:52:00:1a:2c:01,iommu_platform=on,ats=on,bus=root.1 \
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
-drive file=/home/images_nfv-virt-rt-kvm/rhel7.4_nonrt.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-blk0,werror=stop,rerror=stop \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-blk0,id=virtio-blk0,bus=root.2 \
-vnc :2 \
-monitor stdio \

4. After guest boot up, set network up, then guest and qemu will become hang.
# ifconfig eth0 up


For this regression issue:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.2.x86_64   work
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.3.x86_64   work
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.4.x86_64   work
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.5.x86_64   fail
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.8.x86_64   fail

So probably this regression issue was caused by fix of [1]
[1]Bug 1482856 - Unable to start vhost if iommu_platform=on but intel_iommu=on not specified in guest [rhel-7.4.z]

I do confirm the regression starting qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.4.x86_64,
which is caused by patch:

commit d5ba92b697f81189c20aa672581ca4aadf3b8302
Author: Peter Xu <peterx>
Date:   Mon Aug 21 08:52:14 2017 +0200

    exec: abstract address_space_do_translate()

With this patch, my vhost-user iommu setup is broken, I still need to understand the root cause, but reverting the patch fixes my setup.
I need to test again, but upstream containing this patch does not seem to be broken.

IIUC, China is off this week, so I'll debug it further and provide info in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482856

Cheers,
Maxime

Shall I go ahead with patch review and close this bug? I think we could open a new bug(Pei said she would open it later) to fix the regression issue.

Yes, you can go ahead with patch review for this bug.

And let's open a new bug for the regression, I will do it this afternoon.
