...vail will be set to whatever number of bytes the host gave. On doing a hot-unplug on the succeeding wait, the value in data_avail will be re-used, and the hwrng core will wrongly take some bytes in the buffer as input from the host. So, I think we need to set vi->data_avail = 0; before calling wait_event_completion_killable(). Amit

I have two draft fix, 1) is skip unexpected reading by checking a remove flag. 2) is unregistering device at the beginning of remove_common(). I think second patch i...

When we try to hot-remove a busy virtio-rng device from QEMU monitor, the device can't be hot-removed. Because virtio-rng driver hangs at wait_for_completion_killable(). This patch fixed the hang by completing have_data completion before unregistering a virtio-rng device. Signed-off-by: Amos Kong <akong at redhat.com> Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org ---
