Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] wifi: ath12k: fix crash when unbinding
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 20:07:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241017181004.199589-2-jtornosm@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241017181004.199589-1-jtornosm@redhat.com>
If there is an error during some initialization related to firmware,
the function ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup is called to release resources.
However this is released again when the device is unbinded (ath12k_pci),
and we get:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
at RIP: 0010:ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup.part.0+0xb6/0x500 [ath12k]
Call Trace:
ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup
ath12k_dp_free
ath12k_core_deinit
ath12k_pci_remove
...
The issue is always reproducible from a VM because the MSI addressing
initialization is failing.
In order to fix the issue, just set to NULL the released structure in
ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup at the end.
