Given that the guest is not going to crash (if it knows what it is
doing), we could just:



Anthony, can you confirm that this solves the problem for you?

This work until I try to hotplug a new device to the guest at wish
point I have this:
ERROR:/local/home/anthony/work/qemu/qom/object.c:389:object_delete:
assertion failed: (obj->ref == 0)

This is because there is still a pending request of the hotunplug in
the acpi piix4.
If I call qdev_free without qdev_unplug, I hit the same assert, but
rigth away. This is way something new.

Because it's missing the object_unparent done by qdev_unplug.  Does
object_unparent+qdev_free work?  (I believe object_unparent should be
done by qdev_free rather than qdev_unplug, but that's something for 1.2).

Cool, this seems to work fine. Thanks.

I'll test a bit more and resend a patch with only object_unparent+qdev_free.

Separately it was suggested to make qdev_free do object_unparent
automatically. Anthony is yet to respond.

Yes, but for 1.1 this Xen-only patch would be nice.

qdev_free() is trivially object_delete today.

What we should do is make an object_destroy() which emits a destroy event and 
then decrements the reference count.  When ref == 0, we should emit a delete event.

We could then register a slot to object_unparent in the destroy event handler, 
and then object_new() could register a free handler in the delete event.

Then object_delete()/qdev_free() just become trivial invocations of object_unref().

But for 1.1, we definitely should just do an explicit object_unparent().

Okay. Can you fix the bug Amos reported this way too
to avoid confusion?  Or prefer Amos to do it?

No sure which this patch is meant, the force eject is not a good idea.
Freeing directly from Xen is fine.
