Subject: [PATCH 3/3] iommu/vt-d: Avoid NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 10:43:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509024348.3516523-4-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509024348.3516523-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>

From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>

Commit 60f030f7418d ("iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE")
fixed a NULL pointer dereference in an unlikely situation partly.

If dev_pasid is not found in the dev_pasids list, it remains NULL.
However, the teardown operations are executed unconditionally, this lead
to a NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption.

If the domain was never attached to this IOMMU, info will be NULL, which
would cause an immediate dereference when checking --info->refcnt.

Even if info is not NULL, decrementing the refcount without having removed
a valid PASID might unbalance the count. This could lead to premature
dropping of the refcount to 0, potentially causing a use-after-free for the
remaining active devices sharing the domain.

Fix it by returning early if dev_pasid is NULL, before executing the
teardown operations.
