If the BDS's refcnt > 0, drive_del() destroys the DriveInfo, but not
the BDS. This can happen in three places:
* Device model destruction during unplug: blockdev_auto_del()
* Xen IDE unplug: pci_piix3_xen_ide_unplug()
* drive_del command when no device model is attached: do_drive_del()
The other callers of drive_del are on error paths where refcnt == 1.
If the user somehow manages to plug in a device model using a BDS that
has gone through drive_del(), the legacy configuration passed in
DriveInfo doesn't reach the device model, and automatic deletion on
unplug doesn't work. Worse, some device models such as scsi-disk
crash when DriveInfo doesn't exist.
This is theoretical; I didn't research an actual reproducer.
Fix by keeping DriveInfo alive until its BDS dies.
This affects qemu_drive_opts: now you can't reuse the same ID for new
drive options until the BDS dies. Before, you could, but since the
code always attempts to create a BDS with the same ID next, the
enclosing operation "create a new drive" failed anyway. Different
error path, same result.
Unfortunately, the fix involves use of blockdev.c stuff from block.c,
which is a layering violation. Fortunately, my forthcoming
BlockBackend work will get rid of it again.
