Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Fix use-after-free in idxd_remove
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:55:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911065547.161522-1-ziyou.dev@gmail.com> (raw)

When unbinding the idxd driver, the following call trace is observed:

With the KASAN-enabled kernel, the kernel reports a use-after-free bug:

idxd_unregister_devices() calls device_unregister(wq), which triggers
the wq release callback and frees wq memory via kfree(). However,
idxd->wqs[] array still holds the freed pointer. Later, when
device_unregister(idxd) calls idxd_device_drv_remove(), it accesses
wq->state through idxd->wqs[], resulting in use-after-free.

The same issue exists for idxd->engines[] and idxd->groups[] arrays.

KASAN report:

Fix by taking refs on wq/engine/group conf_dev in idxd_unregister_devices()
before calling device_unregister(). This prevents their memory from being
freed until after idxd_device_drv_remove() completes. Add idxd_put_devices()
to release the refs after all cleanup activities are done.

To reproduce:
  cd dsa-perf-micros
  ./scripts/setup_dsa.sh -d dsa0 -w 1 -m s -e 4
  echo "0000:00:01.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/idxd/unbind
