Subject: [PATCH] virtiofs: fix NULL dereference in virtio_fs_add_queues_sysfs()
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2025 10:28:29 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251213012829.685605-1-pioooooooooip@gmail.com> (raw)
virtio_fs_add_queues_sysfs() creates per-queue sysfs kobjects via
kobject_create_and_add(). The current code checks the wrong variable
after the allocation:
- kobject_create_and_add() may return NULL on failure.
- The code incorrectly checks fs->mqs_kobj (the parent kobject), which is
expected to be non-NULL at this point.
- If kobject_create_and_add() fails, fsvq->kobj is NULL but the code can
still call sysfs_create_group(fsvq->kobj, ...), leading to a NULL pointer
dereference and kernel panic (DoS).
Fix by validating fsvq->kobj immediately after kobject_create_and_add()
and aborting on failure, so sysfs_create_group() is never called with a
NULL kobject.
