Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dmaengine: idxd: fix destroy of NULL or already destroyed workqueue
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:37:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028003708.834341-3-jinli@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028003708.834341-1-jinli@purestorage.com>
idxd_conf_device_release() unconditionally calls
destroy_workqueue(idxd->wq). This is wrong in two cases:
- If idxd_probe() fails before idxd_setup_internals() has created the
workqueue, for example when the device reports HALTED after reset,
idxd->wq is still NULL and the final put_device() in the probe error
path oopses:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000d0
RIP: 0010:destroy_workqueue+0xe/0x300
Call Trace:
<TASK>
idxd_conf_device_release+0x15/0x90 [idxd]
device_release+0x3c/0x90
kobject_put+0x7e/0x1e0
idxd_pci_probe_alloc+0x300/0x15e0 [idxd]
local_pci_probe+0x22/0x60
pci_device_probe+0xd4/0x260
- idxd_cleanup_internals() and the err_evl path of
idxd_setup_internals() destroy the workqueue but leave idxd->wq
pointing to it, so the release callback destroys it a second time.
Clear idxd->wq after the early destroys and skip the destroy in the
release callback when there is no workqueue.
We hit the NULL case in a kdump crash kernel, where the DSA device
fails to reset and the oops kills the crash kernel before the dump is
saved.
Fixes: 3d33de353b1f ("dmaengine: idxd: Fix not releasing workqueue on .release()")
