Submission of requests on linux aio is a bit tricky and can lead to
requests completions on submission path:
44713c9e85 ("linux-aio: Handle io_submit() failure gracefully")
0ed93d84ed ("linux-aio: process completions from ioq_submit()")
That means that any coroutine which has been yielded in order to wait
for completion can be resumed from submission path and be eventually
terminated (freed).
The following use-after-free crash was observed when IO throttling
was enabled:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'in_sg' and 'out_sg' are invalid.
e.g. it is impossible that 'in_sg' is zero,
instead its value must be equal to:
(gdb) p/x 0x7f5804009ad8 + sizeof(elem->in_addr[0]) + 2 * sizeof(elem->out_addr[0])
$26 = 0x7f5804009af0
Seems 'elem' was corrupted. Meanwhile another thread raised an abort:

Crash can be explained by access of 'co' object from the loop inside
qemu_co_queue_run_restart():
while ((next = QSIMPLEQ_FIRST(&co->co_queue_wakeup))) {
QSIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD(&co->co_queue_wakeup, co_queue_next);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
on each iteration 'co' is accessed,
but 'co' can be already freed
qemu_coroutine_enter(next);
}
When 'next' coroutine is resumed (entered) it can in its turn resume
'co', and eventually free it. That's why we see 'co' (which was freed)
has the same address as 'elem' from the first backtrace.
The fix is obvious: use temporary queue and do not touch coroutine after
first qemu_coroutine_enter() is invoked.
The issue is quite rare and happens every ~12 hours on very high IO
and CPU load (building linux kernel with -j512 inside guest) when IO
throttling is enabled. With the fix applied guest is running ~35 hours
and is still alive so far.
