Subject: [PATCH net v7 3/7] net: mana: free HWC comp_buf after destroying the EQ
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 10:42:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813174243.3044348-4-longli@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813174243.3044348-1-longli@microsoft.com>
mana_hwc_destroy_cq() freed comp_buf and the CQ before the EQ. While the
EQ was still registered its handler could reach comp_buf (via
mana_hwc_comp_event()) and the CQ (via mana_hwc_init_event_handler()), so
a late EQE could touch freed memory.
Destroy the EQ first: mana_gd_destroy_queue() deregisters its IRQ and
waits out in-flight handlers, so no EQE can dispatch; only then free the
CQ and comp_buf.
Fixes: ca9c54d2d6a5 ("net: mana: Add a driver for Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA)")
