Subject: [PATCH v3] dmaengine: idxd: fix fdev setup failure cleanup in idxd_cdev_open()
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:15:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525141550.1385581-1-dbgh9129@gmail.com> (raw)

The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name paths drop the file-device
reference while wq->wq_lock is still held. If put_device(fdev) drops the
last reference, idxd_file_dev_release() runs synchronously and tries to
take wq->wq_lock again, deadlocking.

Those paths also fall through into the later ctx cleanup labels even
though idxd_file_dev_release() owns that cleanup and frees ctx. This can
make idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) and kfree(ctx) operate on a freed context.

Move idxd_wq_get() before file-device setup can fail, since the release
callback always calls idxd_wq_put(). Then unlock wq->wq_lock before
put_device(fdev) and return directly from the file-device setup failure
path, leaving ctx cleanup to the release callback.

Fixes: e6fd6d7e5f0fe ("dmaengine: idxd: add a device to represent the file opened")

Changes in v3:
- Drop scoped __free(put_device) cleanup and use explicit cleanup, as
  suggested by Dave Jiang.
- Keep idxd_wq_get() before file-device setup can fail so the release
  callback always balances a matching WQ reference.
Changes in v2:
- Use __free(put_device) for the file-device reference.
- Take the WQ reference before fdev can be released so the release
  callback's idxd_wq_put() has a matching idxd_wq_get().
