Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Nullify irqfd->producer when add_producer() fails
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:51:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622075103.35164-1-leixiang@kylinos.cn> (raw)
The x86 and powerpc add_producer() callbacks set irqfd->producer before the
fallible setup and never clear it on error. The bypass manager doesn't
register a producer whose add_producer() failed -- producer->eventfd is
left NULL, so the later unregister early-returns and del_producer() is
never called -- so nothing ever drops the pointer.
For VFIO PCI the producer is embedded in struct vfio_pci_irq_ctx and freed
when the vector is disabled, after which a routing update dereferences the
dangling pointer via kvm_arch_update_irqfd_routing().
Nullify irqfd->producer on the error paths.
Fixes: 77e1b8332d1d ("KVM: x86: Decouple device assignment from IRQ bypass")
Fixes: c57875f5f9be ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable IRQ bypass")
