Subject: [PATCH 2/2] virtio_input: stop callbacks before unregistering input device
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 06:04:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818040433.66986-3-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818040433.66986-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com>
virtinput_remove() unregisters the input device, which can free it,
before resetting the virtio device that can still deliver events.
virtinput_recv_events() drops vi->lock around input_event() and samples
vi->ready only on loop entry. A callback that has passed that check can
therefore use the freed device, requeue a buffer, and kick the queue
after reset has begun.
A KASAN run with the race window widened reproduced the use-after-free.
Reset the device first, as virtinput_freeze() already does. Recheck
vi->ready after reacquiring the lock so the callback does not requeue or
kick once teardown starts.
Fixes: 271c865161c5 ("Add virtio-input driver.")
