Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Add NULL check for DMA channels before release
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 12:06:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014160618.158328-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251014160618.158328-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Shin'ichiro Kawasaki <shinichiro.kawasaki@wdc.com>

[ Upstream commit 85afa9ea122dd9d4a2ead104a951d318975dcd25 ]

The fields dma_chan_tx and dma_chan_rx of the struct pci_epf_test can be
NULL even after EPF initialization. Then it is prudent to check that
they have non-NULL values before releasing the channels. Add the checks
in pci_epf_test_clean_dma_chan().

Without the checks, NULL pointer dereferences happen and they can lead
to a kernel panic in some cases:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000050
  Call trace:
   dma_release_channel+0x2c/0x120 (P)
   pci_epf_test_epc_deinit+0x94/0xc0 [pci_epf_test]
   pci_epc_deinit_notify+0x74/0xc0
