commit 7ca7f0 moves the throttling related part of the BDS life cycle management
to BlockBackend, adds call to throttle_timers_detach_aio_context in blk_remove_bs.
commit 1606e remove a block device from its throttle group in blk_delete by calling
blk_io_limits_disable, this fix an easily reproducible qemu crash. But delete a
BB without a BDS inserted could easily cause a qemu crash too by calling
bdrv_drained_begin in blk_io_limits_disable. Say, a simply drive_add and then a
drive_del command.

Thanks, I can reproduce this easily by running QEMU and doing

   drive_add 0 if=none,throttling.iops-total=5000

followed by

   drive_del none0

I'd say that if someone calls bdrv_drained_begin() with a NULL pointer
then the problem is in the caller...

Why is this part necessary? In what situation you end up calling
throttle_timers_detach_aio_context() twice?

Thanks for replying.

Indeed, the problem comes from the caller. I guest

some code should be reconsidered in blk_remove_bs

and blk_delete, especially with throttling.

Secondly, when handling drive_del in hmp_drive_del,

throttle_timers_detach_aio_context() is called

first time in blk_remove_bs and again throughing blk_unref,

see below:

hmp_drive_del->
    blk_remove_bs->
        *throttle_timers_detach_aio_context*->
    ...
    blk_unref->
        blk_delete->
            blk_io_limits_disable->
                throttle_group_unregister_tgm->
                    throttle_timers_destroy->
                        *throttle_timers_detach_aio_context*->**...**
