[PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Avoid destroying the device workqueue twice

[Yao Kai]

If idxd_probe() fails after idxd_setup_internals() succeeds,
idxd_cleanup_internals() destroys idxd->wq. The PCI probe error path
then calls idxd_free(), whose put_device() invokes
idxd_conf_device_release() and destroys the same workqueue again.
The err_evl path in idxd_setup_internals() has the same problem.
This can corrupt the workqueue list or access freed memory.

Clear idxd->wq after both error-path destroy_workqueue() calls and
only destroy a non-NULL workqueue in the release callback. The NULL
check also handles failures before the workqueue is created, while
preserving its destruction on normal device removal.

dmaengine: idxd: Avoid destroying the device workqueue twice

This commit clears idxd->wq after destroying the workqueue on error paths
and guards destroy_workqueue() in idxd_conf_device_release() with a NULL
check so that the workqueue is not destroyed twice.

[Severity: Critical]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can the err_name path in
idxd_alloc() cause a use-after-free and double free [1] of idxd,
idxd->opcap_bmap, and idxd->id?

drivers/dma/idxd/init.c:idxd_alloc() {
    ...
	device_initialize(conf_dev);
	conf_dev->parent = dev;
	conf_dev->bus = &dsa_bus_type;
	conf_dev->type = idxd->data->dev_type;
	rc = dev_set_name(conf_dev, "%s%d", idxd->data->name_prefix, idxd->id);
	if (rc < 0)
		goto err_name;
    ...
 err_name:
	put_device(conf_dev);
	bitmap_free(idxd->opcap_bmap);
 err_opcap:
	ida_free(&idxd_ida, idxd->id);
 err_ida:
	kfree(idxd);
    ...
}

When dev_set_name() fails, conf_dev->type is already set, so
put_device(conf_dev) invokes idxd_conf_device_release(), which frees
idxd->id, idxd->opcap_bmap, and idxd.  The fallthrough to err_opcap and
err_ida then reads from the freed idxd struct and frees all three a second
time.
