Subject: [PATCH] iommu: WARN_ON when removing a device with no iommu_group associated
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 09:55:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377222911-12144-1-git-send-email-weiyang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
When removing a device from the system, iommu_group driver will try to
disconnect it from its group. While in some cases, one device may not
associated with any iommu_group. For example, not enough DMA address space.
In the generic bus notification, it will check dev->iommu_group before calling
iommu_group_remove_device(). While in some cases, developers may call
iommu_group_remove_device() in a different code path and without check. For
those devices with dev->iommu_group set to NULL, kernel will crash.
This patch gives a warning and return when trying to remove a device from an
iommu_group with dev->iommu_group set to NULL. This helps to indicate some bad
behavior and also guard the kernel.
