As mentioned in #917 If the app built with uefi-services exits before ExitBootServices, UEFI will call
UnloadImage
on it. Then the callback function is not in memory anymore and when ExitBootServices runs, invalid memory is accessed.QEMU will crash like this when the Linux EFISTUB calls ExitBootServices:
To avoid the crash, the user should close the event before the app exits.
It would be nice to have this happen automatically by a Drop implementation but this already lets users do it on their own, if they need.
