[PATCH] virtio-blk: handle block_device_operations callbacks after hot unplug
A virtio_blk block device can still be referenced after hot unplug by userspace processes that hold the file descriptor. In this case virtblk_getgeo() can be invoked after virtblk_remove() was called. For example, a program that has /dev/vdb open can call ioctl(HDIO_GETGEO) after hot unplug. Fix this by clearing vblk->disk->private_data and checking that the virtio_blk driver instance is still around in virtblk_getgeo(). Note that the virtblk_getgeo() function itself is guaranteed to remain in memory after hot unplug because the virtio_blk module refcount is still held while a block device reference exists.

We had a very similar issue in virtio-vsock, and we solved using RCU to assign and get the pointer [1], maybe the same solution can work here. Cheers, Stefano [1] 0deab087b16a vsock/virtio: use RCU to avoid use-after-free on the_virtio_vsock

That way the struct virtio_blk stays around until all block device references are dropped. This is similar to nbd_put() in drivers/block/nbd.c.
