Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] powerpc/xive: make xive IPI allocation NULL-safe
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:42:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727104215.184786-2-gouhao@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727104215.184786-1-gouhao@uniontech.com>

__GFP_NOFAIL should not be used in new code [1].  xive_init_ipis()
allocates the xive_ipis array with __GFP_NOFAIL, which makes the
subsequent NULL check unreachable dead code.

Remove __GFP_NOFAIL so the allocation can fail, and make all xive_ipis
access paths NULL-safe:

- Return XIVE_BAD_IRQ from xive_ipi_cpu_to_irq() when xive_ipis is NULL.
- Set xive_ipis to NULL after kfree() in the error path to prevent
  use-after-free.
- Guard xive_setup_cpu_ipi() and xive_cleanup_cpu_ipi() against
  xive_ipi_irq == XIVE_BAD_IRQ to avoid dereferencing an uninitialized
  or already-freed xive_ipis array.

No functional change when allocation succeeds.
