tcg_ctxs[n] may not be our context, so this looks like it could free
another thread's context and lead to undefined behavior.
Correct.
There is cpu->thread_id so perhaps cpu->thread_ctx could be added as
well. That would require a bitmap of used threads contexts rather than a
counter, though.
Or don't free the context at all, but re-use it when incrementing and
tcg_ctxs[n] != null (i.e. plugging in a repacement vcpu). After all, there
can only be tcg_max_ctxs contexts.
But you would not know which contexts are in use and which aren't without
tracking the association of contexts to CPUs.
Unless there is a cpu array somewhere and you can use the same index for
both to create the association.
I tried to use cpu_index for correlating the tcg_ctx with cpu. I added
some asserts that only null contexts are allocated and non-null contexts
released but qemu crashes somewhere in tcg sometime after the guest gets
to switch root.
Since this isn't trivial and is a long standing issue, let's not
block the 8.2 release with it.
Regards,
Phil.
