Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/virtio: drop the dedicated vbuf kmem_cache
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 11:20:35 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927042035.19956-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com> (raw)
virtio_gpu_alloc_vbufs() creates a kmem_cache with the fixed name
"virtio-gpu-vbufs" for every device and destroys it from
virtio_gpu_release(), which only runs once the last drm_device
reference is dropped. If a reference outlives the PCI removal (for
instance an open /dev/fbN), a rescan probes the device again while the
old cache still exists:
kmem_cache of name 'virtio-gpu-vbufs' already exists
WARNING: mm/slab_common.c:111 at __kmem_cache_create_args
Call Trace:
virtio_gpu_alloc_vbufs
virtio_gpu_init
virtio_gpu_probe
...
pci_rescan_bus
rescan_store
kmem_cache_create() then fails and the new device does not probe.
A vbuf is 216 bytes and lands in kmalloc-256 anyway, so the dedicated
cache buys nothing. Use kzalloc()/kfree() and drop the per-device cache.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=1b129b44597a126d2d79
Fixes: dc5698e80cf7 ("Add virtio gpu driver.")

v2: (Hillf Danton) drop the dedicated cache and use kzalloc()/kfree()
instead of sharing one cache across devices.
