[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] exec.c: Don't reallocate IOMMUNotifiers that are in use

[Peter Maydell]

The tcg_register_iommu_notifier() code has a GArray of
TCGIOMMUNotifier structs which it has registered by passing
memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() a pointer to the embedded
IOMMUNotifier field. Unfortunately, if we need to enlarge the
array via g_array_set_size() this can cause a realloc(), which
invalidates the pointer that memory_region_register_iommu_notifier()
put into the MemoryRegion's iommu_notify list. This can result
in segfaults.

Switch the GArray to holding pointers to the TCGIOMMUNotifier
structs, so that we can individually allocate and free them.

I don't know why I've suddenly started running into this; possibly
it's because of a recent Ubuntu upgrade and so a newer glibc.
