Subject: [PATCH v2] dmaengine: idxd: fix deadlock and double free in idxd_cdev_open()
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 10:26:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515142623.793549-1-dbgh9129@gmail.com> (raw)
The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name error paths in idxd_cdev_open()
drop the file-device reference while still holding wq->wq_lock. If this
is the last reference, put_device(fdev) runs idxd_file_dev_release(),
which takes wq->wq_lock again and deadlocks.
Those error paths also fall through into the later ctx cleanup labels
after idxd_file_dev_release() has already freed ctx. This can make
idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) operate on freed memory and can later free ctx
again at the failed label.
Use scoped put_device() cleanup for fdev and return from the fdev setup
failure path after unlocking wq->wq_lock. Take the WQ reference before
fdev can be released so idxd_file_dev_release() always balances a
matching idxd_wq_get().
Fixes: e6fd6d7e5f0fe ("dmaengine: idxd: add a device to represent the file opened")

Changes in v2:
- Use __free(put_device) for the file-device reference.
- Take the WQ reference before fdev can be released so the release
callback's idxd_wq_put() has a matching idxd_wq_get().
