Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Fix use-after-free of idxd_wq
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 20:45:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414124535.19353-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
We found an idxd_wq use-after-free issue with kasan:
Use location:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in idxd_device_drv_remove+0x1f8/0x240 [idxd]

In the idxd_remove() flow, when execution reaches
idxd_unregister_devices(), all idxd_wq instances have already been
freed. Subsequently, when device_unregister(idxd_confdev(idxd)) is
executed, it calls into idxd_device_drv_remove() which accesses the
already-freed idxd_wq. This fix resolves the issue by swapping the order
of these two operations.
