Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] powerpc/xive: fix use-after-free of xive_ipis
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:28:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724022851.466017-4-gouhao@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724022851.466017-1-gouhao@uniontech.com>
When irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails in xive_init_ipis(), the error
path frees the global xive_ipis array via kfree(). However,
xive_smp_probe() ignores the error return and proceeds to call
xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed xive_ipis
pointer, resulting in a use-after-free.
Propagate the error from xive_init_ipis() through xive_smp_probe()
and check it in both pnv_smp_probe() and pSeries_smp_probe() so that
IPI setup is aborted cleanly on failure.
Fixes: 7dcc37b3eff9 ("powerpc/xive: Map one IPI interrupt per node")
