Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:02:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714180223.1642792-3-nikhil.rao@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714180223.1642792-1-nikhil.rao@amd.com>

In pdsc_remove(), the workqueue is destroyed before pdsc_teardown()
is called. This ordering allows two paths to queue work on the
destroyed workqueue:

1. If pdsc_teardown() -> pdsc_devcmd_reset() times out, the error
   path in pdsc_devcmd_locked() queues health_work.

2. A NotifyQ event can trigger the ISR and queue work before free_irq()
   is called in pdsc_teardown().

Fix by moving destroy_workqueue() after pdsc_teardown() so the
workqueue outlives every queuer; destroy_workqueue() then flushes any
work still pending.

Draining the queued work also requires ordering the teardown so the
resources that work touches are freed last:

  - In pdsc_qcq_free(), after freeing the interrupt, cancel_work_sync()
    the queue's work and only then clear qcq->intx, so
    pdsc_process_adminq()'s read of qcq->intx for interrupt-credit
    return cannot race with the clear.

  - Free adminqcq before notifyqcq: the shared adminq ISR is released
    when adminqcq is freed, and the adminq work accesses notifyqcq, so
    both must be stopped before notifyqcq is freed.

Fixes: 01ba61b55b20 ("pds_core: Add adminq processing and commands")
