Subject: [PATCH 1/3] irqchip/gic-v4: Clear the domain and fwnode pointers after freeing them
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:50:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820125053.2951078-2-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820125053.2951078-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
The GICv4 allocation and teardown paths free their irq domains and
fwnodes but leave the pointers set, and the allocation error paths test
those pointers before removing them. struct its_vm and struct its_vpe
are embedded in KVM's per-VM and per-vCPU state, so nothing re-zeroes
them between two attempts, and an error path taken after an earlier one
already freed the domain calls irq_domain_remove() on freed memory.
Reaching this takes two allocation failures, one to leave the stale
pointer behind and one to send the next attempt down the error path.
Fixes: 7de5c0af9c7c ("irqchip/gic-v4: Add per-VM VPE domain creation")
Fixes: 6d31b6ff985d ("irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add VSGI allocation/teardown")
