Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v1 2/3] ice: Zero out the PTP control PF pointer at ice_adapter cleanup
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 11:00:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504110058.2373236-3-sergey.temerkhanov@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504110058.2373236-1-sergey.temerkhanov@intel.com>
Zero out the ctrl_pf pointer in ice_adapter when the control PF is removed.
This prevents potential dangling pointer dereference when accessing
PTP-related structures from other PFs of the same adapter.
Fixes: e800654e85b5b ("ice: Use ice_adapter for PTP shared data instead of auxdev")
Signed-off-by: Sergey Temerkhanov <sergey.temerkhanov@intel.com>
Reported-by: Frederick Lawler <fred@cloudflare.com>
Closes: https://lkml.indiana.edu/2507.3/01388.html
