PCI devices needing a ROM allocate an optional MemoryRegion with pci_add_option_rom(). pci_del_option_rom() does the cleanup when the device is destroyed. The only action taken by this routine is to call vmstate_unregister_ram() which clears the id string of the optional ROM RAMBlock and now, also flags the RAMBlock as non-migratable. This was recently added by commit b895de502717 ("migration: discard non-migratable RAMBlocks"), .
VFIO devices do their own allocation of the PCI ROM region. It is initialized in vfio_pci_size_rom() in which the PCI attribute 'has_rom' is set to true but the RAMBlock of the ROM region is not allocated. When the associated PCI device is deleted, pci_del_option_rom() calls vmstate_unregister_ram() which tries to flag a NULL RAMBlock because 'has_rom' is set, leading to a SEGV . The use of vmstate_unregister_ram() in the PCI device was added in commit b0e56e0b63f350691b52d3e75e89bb64143fbeff ("unset RAMBlock idstr when unregister MemoryRegion") and from the archive in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-04/msg00282.html, it seems that it was trying to fix a reference count issue. vmstate_unregister_ram() being a work around, let's remove it to fix the current SEGV issue and let's try to find a fix for the initial ref count issue if we can reproduce.
