spapr_cpu_core: add missing rollback on realization path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The spapr_realize_vcpu() function doesn't rollback in case of error.
This isn't a problem with coldplugged CPUs because the machine won't
start and QEMU will exit. Hotplug is a different story though: the
CPU thread is started under object_property_set_bool() and it assumes
it can access the CPU object.

If icp_create() fails, we return an error without unregistering the
reset handler for this CPU, and we let the underlying QEMU thread for
this CPU alive. Since spapr_cpu_core_realize() doesn't care to unrealize
already realized CPUs either, but happily frees all of them anyway, the
CPU thread crashes instantly:

(qemu) device_add host-spapr-cpu-core,core-id=1,id=gku

obj is a dangling pointer to the CPU that was just destroyed in
spapr_cpu_core_realize().

This patch adds proper rollback to both spapr_realize_vcpu() and
spapr_cpu_core_realize().
