Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XICS: Avoid NULL ptr deref in kvmppc_xive_cleanup_vcpu()
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 13:59:19 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012082922.218799-4-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012082922.218799-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com>

In kvmppc_xive_connect_vcpu() if there is a failure before
xc->vp_ipi_data is setup, it can result in a NULL pointer dereference in
kvmppc_xive_cleanup_vcpu() when accessing the MMIO page in
xive_vm_esb_load(). Fix this by adding a check before masking
the VP IPI before accessing the MMIO pages.

Fixes: 5af50993850a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.12+

v3:
1. Add some more info to the patch description.

v2:

possible. (Sashiko)
