Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: fix problems on initialization error path.
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 09:37:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520143732.119407-1-steve.wahl@hpe.com> (raw)
Some error paths within idxd_pci_probe_alloc and functions it calls
did not keep proper track of what has already been allocated or freed,
resulting in calling destroy_workqueue with a null pointer, and once
that was fixed, attempting to free structures more than once. These
conditions were hit running in a kexec'd kdump kernel with reduced
resources, causing the "Device is HALTED!" branch in
idxd_device_init_reset to be taken.
In idxd_conf_device_release, check that the workqueue has been
allocated before trying to destroy it. And in idxd_free and
idxd_alloc, do not attempt to free allocations that
idxd_conf_device_release, called through put_device, will already have
freed.
Fixes: 3d33de353b1f ("dmaengine: idxd: Fix not releasing workqueue on .release()")
