Subject: [PATCH] iommu: amd: Fix uninitialized dev_data on probe failure
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 23:04:16 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251221173416.132656-1-rakuram.e96@gmail.com> (raw)

amd_iommu_probe_device() may jump to the out_err path when
iommu_init_device() fails. In that case, dev_data has not been
initialized yet, but the out_err path unconditionally dereferences
dev_data, leading to an uninitialized pointer dereference.

The IOMMU core explicitly allows ->probe_device() callbacks to
return ERR_PTR() on failure. Return immediately when device
initialization fails instead of falling through the shared error
path, which assumes that per-device IOMMU state exists.

This avoids dereferencing dev_data on error paths where the device
was not successfully initialized.

Testing note:
Compile tested only.

Build and Analysis:
This patch was compiled against the configuration file reported by
0day CI in the above link (config: x86_64-randconfig-r073-20251215)
using gcc version 15.2.0 (Ubuntu 15.2.0-4ubuntu4).

Static analysis was performed with Smatch to ensure the reported warning
no longer reproduces after applying this fix.

Command using for testing:
