Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] PCI/sysfs: Fix null pointer dereference during hotplug
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 09:59:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108015944.3520719-2-duziming2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108015944.3520719-1-duziming2@huawei.com>

During the concurrent process of creating and rescanning in VF, the
resource files for the same pci_dev may be created twice. The second
creation attempt fails, resulting the res_attr in pci_dev to kfree(),
but the pointer is not set to NULL. This will subsequently lead to
dereferencing a null pointer when removing the device.

When we perform the following operation:
  echo $sriov_totalvfs > /sys/class/net/"$pfname"/device/sriov_numvfs &
  sleep 0.5
  echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
  pci_remove "$pfname"
system will crash as follows:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
  Call trace:

Fix this by set the pointer to NULL after releasing 'res_attr' immediately.
