Re: [PATCH] serialize access pci_get_strings function with a mutex

nodeStateInitializeEnumerate -> udevEnumerateDevices-> udevProcessDeviceListEntry -> udevAddOneDevice -> udevGetDeviceDetails-> udevProcessPCI -> udevTranslatePCIIds -> pci_get_strings -> (libpciaccess) find_device_name -> populate_vendor -> d = realloc( vend->devices, (vend->num_devices + 1), * sizeof( struct pci_device_leaf ) ); vend->num_devices++; udev-event thread: udevEventHandleThread -> udevHandleOneDevice -> udevAddOneDevice-> udevGetDeviceDetails-> udevProcessPCI -> udevTranslatePCIIds -> pci_get_strings -> (libpciaccess) find_device_name -> populate_vendor -> d = realloc( vend->devices, (vend->num_devices + 1), * sizeof( struct pci_device_leaf ) ); vend->num_devices++; Since the functions provided by libpciaccess are not thread-safe, when the udev-event and nodedev-init threads of libvirt call the pci_get_strings function provided by libpaciaccess at the same time. It will appear that for the same address, realloc a large space first, and then realloc a small space, which triggers the 'invalid next size' of realloc, leading to the thread core.
