Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] netdevsim: psp: only call nsim_psp_uninit() on PFs
Date: Tue, 05 May 2026 03:42:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505-psd-rcu-v1-1-a8f69ec1ab96@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505-psd-rcu-v1-0-a8f69ec1ab96@gmail.com>

VFs go through nsim_init_netdevsim_vf() which never calls
nsim_psp_init(), so ns->psp.dev stays NULL. nsim_psp_uninit() guards
with !IS_ERR(ns->psp.dev), so destroying a VF reaches
psp_dev_unregister(NULL) and dereferences NULL on the first
mutex_lock(&psd->lock):

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
  RIP: 0010:mutex_lock+0x1c/0x30
  Call Trace:
   psp_dev_unregister+0x2a/0x1a0
   nsim_psp_uninit+0x1f/0x40 [netdevsim]
   nsim_destroy+0x61/0x1e0 [netdevsim]
   __nsim_dev_port_del+0x47/0x90 [netdevsim]
   nsim_drv_configure_vfs+0xc9/0x130 [netdevsim]
   nsim_bus_dev_numvfs_store+0x79/0xb0 [netdevsim]

Gate nsim_psp_uninit() on nsim_dev_port_is_pf(), matching the pattern
already used for nsim_exit_netdevsim() and the bpf/ipsec/macsec/queue
teardowns.

Reproducer:
  modprobe netdevsim
  echo "10 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
  echo 1 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/devices/netdevsim10/sriov_numvfs
  devlink dev eswitch set netdevsim/netdevsim10 mode switchdev
  echo 0 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/devices/netdevsim10/sriov_numvfs
