9p: fix QEMU crash when renaming files
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When using the 9P2000.u version of the protocol, the following shell
command line in the guest can cause QEMU to crash:

    while true; do rm -rf aa; mkdir -p a/b & touch a/b/c & mv a aa; done

With 9P2000.u, file renaming is handled by the WSTAT command. The
v9fs_wstat() function calls v9fs_complete_rename(), which calls
v9fs_fix_path() for every fid whose path is affected by the change.
The involved calls to v9fs_path_copy() may race with any other access
to the fid path performed by some worker thread, causing a crash like
shown below:

Thread 12 "qemu-system-x86" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The fix is to take the path write lock when calling v9fs_complete_rename(),
like in v9fs_rename().

Impact:  DoS triggered by unprivileged guest users.
