The crash was reported in MAC OS and NixOS, here is the link for this bug
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2334https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2321
In this bug, they are using the virtio_input device. The guest notifier was
not supported for this device, The function virtio_pci_set_guest_notifiers()
was not called, and the vector_irqfd was not initialized.
So the fix is adding the check for vector_irqfd in virtio_pci_get_notifier()
The function virtio_pci_get_notifier() can be used in various devices.
It could also be called when VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK is not set. In this situation,
the vector_irqfd being NULL is acceptable. We can allow the device continue to boot
If the vector_irqfd still hasn't been initialized after VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK
is set, it means that the function set_guest_notifiers was not called before the
driver started. This indicates that the device is not using the notifier.
At this point, we will let the check fail.
This fix is verified in vyatta,MacOS,NixOS,fedora system.
