This patch is to fix the issue via moving MSIX MMIO memory region into
struct XenPCIPassthroughState and free it together with pt device's obj.

Given that all the MSI-X related info are in XenPTMSIX, I would prefer
to keep the mmio memory region there, if possible.

Couldn't you just unhook msix->mmio from XenPCIPassthroughState's object
in xen_pt_msix_delete?  Calling object_property_del_child or
object_unparent?

This is the right thing to do, but there are two separate things to fix.

One is the use-after-free of msix->mmio, the other is that freeing
s->msix and in general xen_pt_config_delete should be done from the
.instance_finalize callback.  This is documented in docs/memory.txt.

This is an attempt at a patch (not even compiled):

diff --git a/hw/xen/xen_pt_msi.c b/hw/xen/xen_pt_msi.c

+
+    object_unparent(&msix->mmio);

      g_free(s->msix);
      s->msix = NULL;

where xen_pt_config_unmap would be called from xen_pt_destroy, and the call
to xen_pt_config_delete would be moved to xen_pci_passthrough_info's
instance_finalize member.

Thanks for the explanation and the code. It makes sense to me.

Lan, could you please write up a patch based on this approach and test
it?


Sure. I will update patch following the guide. Thanks Paolo & Stefano.
