Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: Don't access vqs if device was unplugged
Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:04:33 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871v2n4kza.fsf@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>
If a virtio-console device gets unplugged while a port is open, a
subsequent close() call on the port accesses vqs to free up buffers.
This can lead to a crash.
The buffers are already freed up as a result of the call to
unplug_ports() from virtcons_remove(). The fix is to simply not access
vq information if port->portdev is NULL.
