[PATCH 1/3] KVM: Destroy I/O bus devices on unregister failure _after_ sync'ing SRCU

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Mon Apr 12 2021 - 18:20:59 EST


If allocating a new instance of an I/O bus fails when unregistering a
device, wait to destroy the device until after all readers are guaranteed
to see the new null bus. Destroying devices before the bus is nullified
could lead to use-after-free since readers expect the devices on their
reference of the bus to remain valid.
