Subject: [PATCH 02/17] dmaengine: idxd: detach the user fault workqueue under the event log lock
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 08:06:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019150630.4026341-3-daniel1.byrne@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019150630.4026341-1-daniel1.byrne@intel.com>
The event log walk tests wq->wq and queues fault work on it, and the
drain of a closing context's PASID tests it and drains it, both under
evl->lock. The user driver's remove destroyed the workqueue without
that lock, so a walk could queue on a workqueue being destroyed, and
the probe's error path destroyed it without clearing the pointer, so a
later walk or drain found a dangling one.
Detach and destroy the workqueue under evl->lock, in one helper that
the remove and the probe error path share, and clear the pointer in
both. A walk or a drain that finds it gone knows that the fault work
it would have waited for has run.
